Donizetti's The Elixir of Love (L'elisir d'amore)Minnesota Opera, Minneapolis, January 24 - February 1, 2015Photographs by Michel Donat, courtesy of Minnesota Opera
This was a new production, sung in Italian, by Minnesota Opera and performed at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts, St Paul's. Rob Hubbard (Pioneer Press, TwinCities.com, January 25, 2015) characterised it as " a frolicsome delight from start to finish" and was imprssed by all the soloists. Basil Considine (TC Daily Planet, January 27, 2015) was of much the same opinion, "The Elixir of Love is a light-hearted, humorous musical ride laced with excellent music and even better performances.", as was Michael Anthony (StarTribune, January 26, 2015), who also mentioned that "a good bit of the charm of this production comes from the lithe and buoyant conducting of Leonardo Vordoni"
