| Basking Ridge, NJ – Opera for All was established by LONJ to provide 10% of mainstage tickets at no cost to qualified individuals, making professional theater available to a wider spectrum of people. Now in its second year, this innovative program was originally funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and is now supported by the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission.
L’Elisir d’Amore is LONJ’s next production to be offered through the Opera for All initiative at the South Orange Performing Arts Center in South Orange, New Jersey, on November 7, 2024 at 6:30 PM; and the Sieminski Theater in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, on November 8 and 9, 2024 at 7:30 PM.
Donizetti’s enchanting opera is a delightful tale that intertwines themes of love, humor, and the quest for happiness. The story revolves around the earnest and lovable Nemorino, who is hopelessly in love with the beautiful yet capricious Adina. In a bid to win her heart, Nemorino seeks the help of a traveling quack doctor, Dr. Dulcamara, who sells him a supposed love potion. What unfolds is a humorous and heartwarming exploration of the lengths one will go to for love, the folly of misguided beliefs, and the realization that true love often requires courage and authenticity.
