Summary:
"Enchanting" is the word for this one. A charming and pert Bidú Sayô (Adina) has been ignoring poor Nemorino (Ferruccio Tagliavini), forcing him to take desperate measures to win her love. Salvatore Baccaloni is Dr. Dulcamara, a wily snake-oil salesman with a bogus "elixir of love" that he promises will do the trick. It eventually works, of course, but not before the sensational cast has made us laugh and touched our hearts.
Contents:
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
Intanto, o mia ragazza
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
Tran, tran, tran. In guerra ed in amor
Signor sargente, di voi richiede la vostra gente
Adina credimi, te ne scongiuro
Andiam, Belcore
Cantiamo, facciam brindisi
Piochè cantar vi alletta
Io son ricco e tu sei bella-Silenzio! È qua il Notaro
Le feste nuziali
La donna è un animale stravagante ; Venti scudi!
"Ai perigli, della guerra
Qua la mano, giovinotto"
Saria possibile
Dell'elisir mirabile
Come sen va contento!
Quanto amore! Ed io, speitata!
Una furtiva lagrima
Eccola. Oh! Qual le accresce beltà
Prendi, per me sei libero
Alto! fronte!
