"Elixir Of Love” To Begin Fall
Lyceum Series On October 22nd
On October 22, the National
Grass Roots Opera company will
present “The Elixir of Love”, the
first lyceum program of the cur
rent school year. The program will
be held in the Campus Center Aud
itorium at 8; 15 p. m., and attend
ance is required of all college stu
dents.
The opera, written by Donizetti,
:’u Italian, is a comedy with a sim
ple plct and is performed in Eng
lish. The characters are Nemorino,
a young peasant; Adina, a wealthy
village girl: Belcore, a sergeant;
C.ianctta, a peasant girl; and Dul
camara, an itinerant quack doctor.
The action takes place in an Ital
ian village during the nimateenth
century.
The story revolves around Ne-
irorino's unrequited love fcr Adina.
His chief coimipetition is a conceit
ed sergeant named Belcore. Nem
orino, in an attempt to win the
love of Adina, purchases a “love
potion”, called elixir, from a so-
called doctor; but, in reality, the
potion is nothing but wine. Never-
tlie-lesis, it has the desired effect,
a;id soon Nemorino becomes the
cheerful, indifferent type, ■ thor
oughly confusing Adina, who can
not understand the sudden change
in his attitude toward her. For
spite, she eventually agrees to mar
ry Belcore 'but keeps putting off
the wedding. The story is made
more interestimg when the word
gets out that Nemorino has inheri
ted a large amount of money from
his uncle and, of course, has be-
cnmc the “prize catch” of the town.
