Customer Reviews

A real Magic Potion
Some friends loaned me this super DVD, and I enjoyed it so much I went and got my own copy. It was my first experience of Netrebko and Villazon and I was really impressed. It was obvious from their great performance the two of them each complimented the other, and this came across clearly in the various exchanges they had in the Opera. It was a treat to see Villazon juggling 3 apples whilst singing! It is so refreshing these days to see excellent singers who are also physically attractive, and I thoroughly recommend this recording of this light hearted and very tuneful opera.
I must also mention Leo Nucci's performance. He is a versatile and competent performer, and he comes over very well in L'Elisir D'Amore

Love potion
This is a great performance with lots of fun. Anna Netrebko is a stunning Adina. Rolando Villazón is a clumsy but charming Nemorio. Ildebrando D'Arcangelo is a credible fraud and a great actor. L'Elisir d'Amore is a funny story with a happy end. You will enjoy it.

Enchanting but ultimately shallow
Quite brilliant. Singing and acting superb. Lively and engaging. Only thing that let's it down is that you just can't believe in this production that the lovers can have any meaningful or reciprocated relationship till very near the end.
