The Elixir of Love

Mar

Presented by the Lyric Opera of The North

Tickets are on sale now for a public performance by LOON’s touring company, Little Opera of the North. This year’s tour brings Opera for the Young’s adaptation of The Elixir of Love to schools throughout the arrowhead region.

The Little LOON touring company will be joined by student choristers from area elementary schools. Suitable for all ages, this delightful 45-minute adaptation is sung in English and concludes with a Q&A with the cast. General Admission Tickets are just $5 and will also be available at the door. Admission is free for kids in 6th grade and younger.

In the dusty town of Lonesome Gulch, the swaggering Sergeant Corey looms over timid Jimmy Reno as they vie for Miss Addy’s attention, while the sly Dr. Dulcamara rolls in, peddling her so-called magic elixir—nothing but a bottle of root beer! With playful melodies and laugh-out-loud comedy, The Elixir of Love whisks students away to America’s Old West, packed with timeless music, mischievous fun, and lessons on growing up and forgiveness.

There will be a cash bar along with snacks available for purchase in the lobby.
