Set in Spain’s Basque Country, The Elixir of Love tells the story of Nemorino, a peasant in love with the wealthy Amina. After Adina rejects Nemorino’s advances, Nemorino purchases a love potion from a traveling quack doctor named Dulcamara. Dulcamara sells Nemorino a common glass of red wine, which Dulcamara claims to be a potent love potion. Nemorino drinks the “potion,” and with his new-found confidence, Nemorino pursues his love for Adina in competition with the swaggering soldier, Belcore. Will Nemorino’s dreams of love come true, or is he destined to a life as a peasant?
