*In a small Italian village, the flirtatious Adina prefers a swaggering soldier to the shy Nemorinoo who is smitten with her. A travelling quack offers the love-sick man an “elixir of love” to solve his problem. Drunk with love and the elixir (really just plain-old red wine), Nemorino stumbles his way to win Adina’s heart!
