OSU's new opera director Peter Kozma is thrilled to be staging his first major opera on campus—a modernized, cosmopolitan version of The Elixir of Love (L'elisir d'amore), by Gaetano Donizetti. The bold and colorful production of the 19th century comic opera centers on the timeless struggle of males and females in love—a light-hearted tale filled with lovers' quarrels, magic potions and commercialism. The all-student cast will be accompanied by an orchestra of student musicians. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
