Donizetti’s comic gem L'elisir d'amore, directed by Bartlett Sher and conducted by Domingo Hindoyan, presents Pretty Yende as the spirited Adina, with Matthew Polenzani as Nemorino, the simple peasant who falls in love with her. Davide Luciano makes his Met debut in the role of Adina’s arrogant fiancé Belcore, and Ildebrando D’Arcangelo sings the role of the magic potion-peddling Doctor Dulcamara. Domingo Hinoyan makes his first appearance as maestro.
