About this album

This 1959 La Scala recording of Donizetti’s L’Elisir D’Amore is a finely shaped, characterful reading led by the great Tullio Serafin. A master of Italian opera, Serafin brings pace, elegance and theatrical clarity to one of bel canto’s most popular works, balancing comic sparkle with genuine lyrical warmth. With the Orchestra and Chorus of Teatro alla Scala and Norberto Mola among the principal forces, the performance reflects the Milan house’s long tradition in this repertoire. The opera itself, first performed in 1832, remains one of Donizetti’s most beloved works, anchored by melodies that have kept it central to the standard repertory.
