Gaetano Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love is a sparkling 1832 comedy set in an Italian village where the peasant farmer Nemorino pines for the beautiful, wealthy, and indifferent Adina. When the quack Doctor Dulcamara arrives in town, Nemorino tries to win Adina’s love by using the doctor’s so-called love potion. Matters are complicated when the dashing Sergeant Belcore swoops in with designs on Adina, and the outcome of the plot ultimately hangs on the love elixir’s real (or imagined) potency. Performed in Italian with English supertitles. Tickets are $18 general admission, $15 for seniors and Northwestern University faculty and staff, and $8 for students.

The Requiem by Giuseppe Verdi is a musical setting of the Catholic funeral Mass. It was completed to mark the first anniversary of the death of Alessandro Manzoni, an Italian poet and novelist much admired by Verdi. The piece is also sometimes referred to as the “Manzoni Requiem.” Throughout the work, Verdi uses vigorous rhythms, sublime melodies, and dramatic contrasts – much as he did in his operas – to express the powerful emotions engendered by the text. Tickets are $12 general admission, $9 for seniors and Northwestern University faculty and staff, and $6 for students. | ||||||||||||||||||
