Description: Donizetti’s charming comedy is a celebration of innocence, so what setting could be better than a small Italian-American community in Napa Valley, circa 1915?  In this ingenious update, the naïve Nemorino believes that a love potion will win him Adina’s heart.  Blossoming from a shy Italian immigrant to a plucky entrepreneur, he captures both his sweetheart and the American dream over the course of this delightful opera buffa.  Tenor Ramon Vargas superbly embodies the role of the lovesick Nemorino.  The beautiful but aloof Adina is sung by soprano Inva Mula.  Recorded fall 2008, War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco.  In Italian; English subtitles; one intermission.
