Love potion - By: P. Pieters, 16 Nov 2007
This is a great performance with lots of fun. Anna Netrebko is a stunning Adina. Rolando Villazón is a clumsy but charming Nemorio. Ildebrando D'Arcangelo is a credible fraud & a great actor. L'Elisir d'Amore is a funny story with a happy end. You will enjoy it.

A real Magic Potion - By: Michael Walsh, 24 Aug 2007
Some friends loaned me this super DVD, & I enjoyed it so much I went & got my own copy. It was my first experience of Netrebko & Villazon & I was really impressed. It was obvious from their great performance the two of them each complimented the other, & this came across clearlyin the various exchanges they hadin the Opera. It was a treat to see Villazon juggling 3 apples whilst singing! It is so refreshing these days to see excellent singers who are also physically attractive, & I thoroughly recommend this recording of this light hearted & very tuneful opera.
I must also mention Leo Nucci's performance. He is a versatile & competent performer, & he comes over very wellin L'Elisir D'Amore
