Boston Summer Opera presents L’elisir d’amore

Boston Summer Opera’s third season, “A Bel Canto Summer”, kicks off with our first mainstage performance — L’elisir d’amore by Gaetano Donizetti!

This production will be performed in Italian with English supertitles. The run time will be approximately two hours with one 15-minute intermission, making it accessible, engaging, and perfect for both first-time opera-goers and longtime fans.

This performance is kindly hosted by The Center for the Arts at the Armory in Somerville as a part of their Performance Opportunity Program! The audience is welcome to enjoy food and drink from their excellent kitchen and bar menu all throughout the evening. Make sure you order the “Elixir of Love” specialty drink!

Boston Summer Opera is joyfully building a summertime operatic hub for musicians and audiences alike, filling a unique space in the Commonwealth’s musical landscape. We are committed to producing high-quality performances that uplift local emerging artists while making opera accessible, engaging, and community-centered. Our mission is to celebrate Boston’s flourishing musical community, foster deep engagement with diverse audiences, and ensure that opera can be enjoyed by everyone in the city year-round—barrier-free.

All Boston Summer Opera performers are young artists based in the greater Boston area.
