Girl is rich, she's beautiful, she's smart, she's all that. Boy is poor, he's not too bright, and he's hopelessly in love with her. Enter a pompous sergeant who immediately proposes to the girl, and a snake oil salesman who promises the girl's love in one day if the boy buys and takes his special elixir.

What could possibly go right?

USA Opera presents Donizetti's classic bel canto opera, L'Elisir d'Amore (The Elixir of Love) on Friday, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 14 at 3:00 p.m. on the stage of Laidlaw Performing Arts Center Recital Hall.
