Happening today! Don’t miss out—We can’t wait to see you there!

Join us for an unforgettable evening of gorgeous music, bel canto singing, comedy, passion, and drama as Pico Opera presents L’elisir d’amore. This intimate, fully staged production will be performed in Italian with English titles. All seats will be within 9 rows of the stage on stadium seating, ensuring a fully immersive and truly unique opera experience. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to experience the magic of opera up close and personal at The Foundry!

Synopsis: Nemorino, a poor and shy peasant, is in love with the beautiful and wealthy Adina. Adina, amused by his affections, plays hard to get and considers marrying the boastful Sergeant Belcore instead. Desperate to win her heart, Nemorino buys a “love potion” (really just cheap wine) from a traveling quack doctor, Dulcamara. Believing in the potion’s power, Nemorino suddenly acts confident, which ironically makes Adina jealous. When she realizes she truly loves him, she buys back his military contract so he won’t have to enlist. Eventually, she confesses her feelings and the opera ends happily with Adina and Nemorino united in love…with much hilarity and confusion along the way!

Don’t miss out on a chance to see Donizetti’s famous comedy up close and personal! ♥️🎶
