L'Elisir d'Amore constitutes one of the most charming and melodic operas of the international repertoire but also one of the old time favourites of opera lovers worldwide. The choice of this work of opera brings innovation to the Festival since a comic opera will be presented instead of lyric drama. Donizetti's comic masterpiece L'Elisir d'Amore will be presented in a co-production between the Company Pafos Aphrodite Festival Cyprus and the lyric organization Opera Futura Verona with the participation of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra. The opera consists of two acts and the Italian libretto was written by Felice Romani based on Eugène Scribe's Le Philtre (1831). It premiered at Teatro della Canobbiana, in Milan on 12 May 1832. This opera has established Donizetti as composer of comic opera since he managed to introduce the emotional element into this genre of opera. In this work of opera Donizetti created a pleasant atmosphere where the dominant features are bright colours and pure emotions which to this day allows audiences to leave with a smile since comic elements are followed by emotional scenes.
