It is an Elixir cut for the dimensions of the Ancient Theater which invites itself to the Chorégies.
The festival indeed welcomes the production full of humour, charm and poetry, staged ten years ago for Lausanne by… Adriano Sinivia: none other than the one to whom Grinda had entrusted the "steering wheel" of his opera.

On the distribution side, this Elixir will also make its honey with a set of familiar bel canto voices, led in particular by Erwin Schrott's Dulcamara, René Barbera's Nemorino and above all the irresistible Adina by Pretty Yende.
The latter will also find in the pit, at the desk of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, the young conductor Giacomo Sagripanti - another bel canto specialist, who had accompanied the South African soprano during her Parisian recital at the Théâtre des Champs -Élysées, at the start of the season.
