For those of you who may be interested - I was just browsing program listings for this summer's NPR World of Opera shows, and found this... :D

*********************************************
August 30
Gaetano Donizetti: The Elixir of Love
Houston Grand Opera
Houston Symphony Orchestra & Chorus Conductor: Patrick Summers
CAST: Ana Maria Martinez (Adina); Ramon Vargas (Nemorino); Earle Patriarco (Belcore); Dale Travis (Dulcamara); Kerri Marcinko (Giannetta)

Stories about love potions range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Like many great comic operas, this tale of a magic elixir, arguably, is both. Donizetti's brilliant score tells the story of a snake-oil salesman whose bogus product accidentally produces exactly the effect he advertises.

Mark your calendars! :D
Cheers,
