Shanghai Opera House: L'elisir d'amore
About the performance
Shanghai Opera House stages Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore for three performances at the Shanghai Conservatory Opera House, 13 to 15 November 2026. Donizetti wrote this two-act comedy in Milan in 1832, reportedly in six weeks, and it went on to become the most performed Italian opera of the first half of the nineteenth century. The plot is slight: Nemorino loves Adina and cannot say so, and buys a love potion from the travelling quack Dulcamara which is in fact a bottle of Bordeaux. The second-act aria "Una furtiva lagrima" is the best-known thing in it and one of the most frequently sung tenor arias anywhere. The permit lists three sittings: 13 and 14 November at 19:30, 15 November at 14:00. No cast, conductor or director has been announced, and neither prices nor an on-sale date have been published. This page will be updated when Shanghai Opera House announces.
