The Elixir of Love | Utah Opera

Looking for a dose of love, laughter, and a little bit of magic? Watch as Nemorino, a lovesick soldier, tries to win the heart of the beautiful Adina - who gently rejects his advances. Seeking some help from the smooth-talking Dr. Dulcamara and his so-called "love potion", Nemorino stirs up a whole lot of jealousy, mischief, and maybe even a bit of real romance! This bubbly comedy, bursting with effervescent charm (and a splash of citrus inspiration), is the perfect recipe for a fun night out.

Sung in Italian with English captions

March 7-15, 2026 | Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah
