Donizetti's "L'elisir d'amore" on tour: the traveling shows of the Teatro Lirico of Cagliari are back
The 2022 edition of "An island of music" will start from the Opera Music Forum and then reach Mogoro and Tempio Pausania

The itinerant adventure of great music around the island will be inaugurated by one of the liveliest and most loved operas by audiences of all ages : "L' elisir d'amore", a playful melodrama in two acts, on a libretto by Felice Romani , taken from the comedy "Le philtre" by Eugène Scribe and music by Gaetano Donizetti.
The proposed staging is new and signed by the Teatro Lirico of Cagliari. At the helm of direction and costumes is Marco Nateri from Cagliari, a versatile, well-known and appreciated artist (among his many works, the costumes for "I Shardana", 2013, and "Turandot", 2014 stand out). The scenes are by Sabrina Cuccu , the lights by Andrea Ledda and, as assistant director , Luigia Frattaroli also collaborates.
The public will be enveloped by a simple, colorful and suitable for everyone version of the famous love story between Adina and Nemorino.
The Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Lirico of Cagliari are conducted by Maestro Andrea Solinas . The choir master is Giovanni Andreoli.
These are the two casts of the work which uses young artists: Ilaria Vanacore / Elena Schirru (Adina), Nico Franchini / Mauro Secci (Nemorino), Nicola Ebau (Belcore), Alex Martini (Dulcamara), Graziella Ortu (Giannetta).
The work, lasting approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes in total, is performed without intermission.
