Donizetti’s charming comedy is about a wide eyed country boy in love with the mayor’s daughter, so what setting could be better than a small farming town in the old west? In this ingenious update, the naive Nemorino believes that a love potion will win Adina’s heart. Blossoming from a shy cowboy to a plucky entrepreneur, he captures both his sweetheart and the American dream over the course of this delightful opera buffa.

The colorful touring opera production features nationally renowned artists, chamber orchestra and sets.  English surtitles will be provided. This production is in partnership with the Punta Gorda Symphony.
