Get ready for a rollercoaster of love, laughter, and ludicrous potions at this modern production! Our hero, Nemorino, is so smitten he might just serenade a lamppost if it looked like Adina. And how about Dr. Dulcamara? He's the kind of doctor who might diagnose a case of the blues as a severe lack of chocolate. Together, they bring you a tale so tangled in love's lunacy, you'll forget whether you're in Basking Ridge or on a wild ride through Verona. It’s a love potion brewed with a dash of hilarity.

This modern setting of the beloved classic is a co-production between Teatro Grattacielo, Camerata Bardi International Academy and Light Opera of New Jersey, and showcases a cast exclusively made up of the next generation of opera stars. Camerata Bardi International Academy 2024’s young artists will own the stage to give life to eccentric characters in this reinterpretation of the Italian comic opera in which saturated colors will resonate with rose infused patterns to visually empower Donizetti’s delightful music. The production was designed and directed by Stefanos Koroneos and will be led by Maestro Jason Tramm and the Light Opera of New Jersey Orchestra.
