Summary:
The incomparable Luciano Pavarotti at his most eloquent brings Donizetti's Nemorino to live as only he can, combining vocal fireworks, personal charisma, and charm. The enchanting production by Nathaniel Merrill, with designs by Robert O'Hearn, is the perfect setting for Nemorino's quest to win the heart of beautiful Adina, sung by the sparkling Judith Blegen. Brent Ellis as Belcore and Sesto Bruscantini as Dr. Dulcamara round out the all-star cast. Nicola Rescigno conducts.

Opening credits
Preludio (Prelude)
Bel conforto al mietitore
Quanto è bella, quanto è cara!
Benedette queste carte!
Della crudele Isotta
Marziale: Come Paride vezzoso
Or se m'ami, come io t'amo
Una parola, o Adina
Chiedi all'aura lusingheira
Che vuol dire codesta suonata?
Udite, udite, o rustici
Ardir! Ha forse il cielo mandato
Voglio dire, lo stupendo elisir
Caro elisir! Sei moi!
Esulti pur la barbara
In guerra ed in amor
Adina credimi, te ne scongiuro
Andiam, Belcore
Cantiamo, cantiam, cantiam
Io son ricco e tu sei bella
Cantiamo, cantiam
La donna è un animale
Venti scudi!
Saria possibile
Dell'elisir mirabile
Io già m'immagino che cosa brami.
Come sen va contento!
Quanto amore! Ed io, speitata!
Una tenera occhiatina
Una furtiva lagrima
Eccola. Oh! Qual le accresce beltà
Prendi, per me sei libero
Alto! fronte!
Ei corregge ogni difetto
