Open spaces and soft colours, a large tree, a hot air balloon, a painted backdrop: “Listen, listen”, Doctor Dulcamara’s Elisir d’Amore is returning to the Teatro Regio. Directed by Marcello Grigorov, Donizetti’s love potion returns to ensnare capricious hearts in the 1988 production created by Francesca Zambello with scenes and costumes by Nica Magnani. A framework of purity for the voices of Jessica Nuccio, Celso Albelo, and Roberto de Candia with the Orchestra Regionale dell’Emilia Romagna and the Chorus of the Teatro Regio in Parma directed by Francesco Cilluffo.

BEFORE THE SHOW…
