Synopsis

Place: A small village in the Basque Country at the end of the 18th century.

Nemorino is in love with the beautiful Adina, however, she is fickle and has attracted the attention of the boastful Belcore.

Desperate to win Adina’s love, Nemorino purchases a love potion from a doctor named Dulcamara, believing it will make Adina fall in love with him. Little does Nemorino know that the potion is merely cheap red wine. Meanwhile, Adina becomes jealous when she sees Nemorino’s newfound popularity with the other girls after purchasing the potion.

As the story unfolds, misunderstandings and comedic situations arise, including Belcore’s attempts to woo Adina and Nemorino’s increasingly desperate attempts to win her heart…
