An opera by Gaetano Donizetti “The Elixir of Love” will be presented by Z-Arts on Friday, February 7th at the Canyon Community Center at 7:00pm.  The opera will be performed by the Utah Opera Resident Artists under the direction of Kathleen Clawson.

Sassy cowgirl Adina can’t seem to get shy ranch hand Nemorino to declare his love for her. When a rival, the soldier Belcore, appears on the scene, Nemorino makes use of a magic love potion that he purchases from Dr. Dulcamara. Though the elixir is phony, Nemorino believes in its power and grows bold enough to act on his emotions. When Adina sees how much he is willing to sacrifice for her, her heart warms to him, and they both learn how to say “I love you”.

The cast consists of Soprano Amy Owens, Mezzo-soprano Abigail Levis, Tenor Tyson Miller, Baritone Shea Owens and Pianist Sahar Nouri.

There is a suggested donation of $5 per person to attend. The doors will open at 6:30pm.
