The Warner Theatre's Met Opera Live in HD Season Presents Donizetti's L'ELISIR D'AMORE

The Warner Theatre's Met Opera Live in HD Season continues in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre on Saturday, February 10, 2018 at 12 pm with Donizetti's L'ELISIR D'AMORE. A complimentary 45 minute pre-opera lecture by Dr. Marguerite Mullée will be offered in the Studio Lobby two hours before the broadcast. Donizetti's comedic gem stars Pretty Yende as the spirited Adina in her debut of the role, opposite Matthew Polenzani as Nemorino, the simple peasant who falls in love with her. Polenzani enthralled Met audiences as Nemorino in 2013 with his ravishing "Una furtive lagrima." Davide Luciano makes his Met debut as the role of Adina's arrogant fiancé, Belcore, and Ildebrando D'Arcangelo sings the role of magic potion-peddling Doctor Dulcamara. Bartlett Sher's production is charming, with deft comedic timing but also emotionally revealing. Domingo Hindoyan conducts.

Built by Warner Brothers Studios and opened in 1931 as a movie palace (1,772 seats), the Warner Theatre was described then as "Connecticut's Most Beautiful Theatre." Damaged extensively in a flood, the Warner was slated for demolition in the early 1980s until the non-profit Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts (NCAA) was founded and purchased the theatre. The Warner reopened as a performing arts center in 1983, and restoration of the main lobbies and auditorium was completed in November 2002. In 2008, the new 50,000 square foot Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts Center, which houses a 300 seat Studio Theatre, 200 seat restaurant and expansive school for the arts, was completed. Today, the Warner is in operation year-round with more than 160 performances and 100,000 patrons passing through its doors each season. Over 10,000 students, pre K-adult, participate in arts education programs and classes. Together, with the support of the community, the Warner has raised close to $17 million to revitalize its facilities. NCAA's mission is to preserve the Warner Theatre as an historic landmark, enhance its reputation as a center of artistic excellence and a focal point of community involvement, and satisfy the diverse cultural needs of the region.
