Donizetti's L'elisir d'Amore


Unfortunately, guest from Den Jyske Opera in Det Kongelige Teater production of L'Elisir d’Amore that I’ve seen it on the February the 18th, hasn’t delivered their maximum…

I’ve missed intrigue, almost always delivered by Det Kongelige Teater… at the end of the day this is a bel canto comedy… but this time around, something was mixed up.

The voice of Nemorino, tenor David Danholt hasn’t been blessed with freshness, especially during Una furtiva lagrima, which always brings nostalgic filings for me…


Quite the contrary Adina (Sine Bundgaard), Belcore (Michael Lindberg) and especially Dulcamara (Jørn Pedersen), where unquestionably kicking up the performance.

Dulcamara moved perfectly and his voice was especially strong and seductive.

Anyway, it was like… well boring Champagne… in other words Champagne without fizz.
