For the second main opera of the historic 60th anniversary season, Palm Beach Opera is delighted to present the charming opera “The Elixir of Love”, a bel canto classic featuring endearing characters and an uplifting score in a sparkling and vibrant production. Created by prolific 19th-century Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti, the warm “Elixir” offers a dreamy escape for audiences of all ages, with a timeless story and universal appeal.

Palm Beach Opera conductor David Stern, who was praised by the South Florida Classical Review for doing “full justice to the glorious tunes of Puccini” during the 2021 Festival performance of “La bohème,” will conduct the Palm Beach Opera Orchestra. The group was recently hailed as “brilliant” by Opera News for their performance in “Carmen” last month. Imaginative director and producer Fenlon Lamb, who has directed several PBO productions including 2018’s acclaimed ‘Tosca’ and 2019’s family-friendly ‘Hansel and Gretel’, returns to direct the cast.

For her Palm Beach Opera debut as Adina, Metropolitan Opera star and Ukrainian-Canadian soprano Andriana Chuchman, whose performance in the role was hailed as “irresistibly lively” by The New York Times. In another early performance, award-winning Guatemalan tenor Mario Chang will sing alongside Chuchman as Nemorino. Chang, hailed as a “bel canto-born tenor” by The New York Times, is also co-founder of Querido Arte: Compañía de Ópera de Guatemala, a new opera company whose mission is to make Guatemala a benchmark for opera in Latin America. and help fight illiteracy.

Russian baritone Alexey Lavrov, recognized for his “dramatic fervor and nuance of character” by The New York Times, will make his PBO debut as Belcore, a role he recently sang at the Macau International Music Festival . Last seen at the PBO as Zuniga in a 2016 production of “Carmen,” Musa Ngqungwana will return as Dulcamara. Ngqungwana is the author of “Odyssey of an African Opera Singer”, which was published in South Africa by the prestigious Penguin Random House. The inspiring memoir chronicles the opera singer’s journey from the townships of South Africa to the world stage.

“We are thrilled to follow up on our hit ‘Carmen’ with Donizetti’s captivating ‘Elixir of Love’,” said General and Artistic Director David Walker. “The magnetic story, coupled with the incredible artistry and onstage talent, is sure to make for an unforgettable opera experience.”
