The Elixir of Love Donizetti’s intoxicating romantic comedy follows the efforts of the hapless farmer boy Nemorino to win the object of his desires, Adina, the prettiest belle in town. His heart aching with love unrequited, and desperate for an advantage over her current debonair suitor, Sergeant Belcore, the young farmer buys a powerful love potion from the traveling cure-all “Doctor” Dulcamara. His luck begins to change instantly. If only he knew that his newfound success in romance has more to do with Adina’s true feelings than the “magic” elixir! Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Tosca This supremely melodic masterpiece is a tautly suspenseful thriller set in Rome during the Napoleonic wars. Floria Tosca, a headstrong and celebrated operatic soprano, loves the handsome painter Mario Cavaradossi, whose political activism places him in the crosshairs of the evil Baron Scarpia. As the Chief of Police, Scarpia uses his power to set in motion a plan that will force Tosca to satisfy his carnal desires, and rid him of Cavaradossi once and for all. A story of betrayal, vengeance, seduction and murder, illuminated and enhanced by Puccini’s lyrical and compelling score. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
