Name: The love potion - Opera at the wine tavern
Start: 2024-07-26T19:00:00+02:00
End: 2024-07-26T23:59:59+02:00

Comic opera in 2 acts by Gaetano Donizetti in German

An open-air production by the music theater association "Das Opernkarussell" in collaboration with the Styrian rural youth, the Chamber of Agriculture and the Farmers' Union

The poor peasant boy Nemorino is madly in love with the attractive but capricious landlady Adina. However, she is also idolized by the officer Belcore. Thankfully, the self-appointed doctor and quack Dulcamara also has a hand in this when he sells Nemorino a hearty red wine as an elixir of love, which is supposed to drive the ladies mad after him. Suddenly everyone is infatuated with this inconspicuous peasant boy, which Dulcamara himself cannot understand at all. After all, it was just a simple red wine - or was it?

For the summer of 2024, director Wolfgang Atzenhofer is relocating this adventurous story based on Eugene Scribe to Buschenschank Pöltl in Löffelbach, where the interested audience is offered a staged mixture of the TV format "Bauer sucht Frau" and the shooting of the new young farmers' calendar by Landjugend Hartberg. The audience seemingly becomes an integral part of the production as they sit between bales of straw and experience this summer comedy about love and jealousy as well as tractors and wine in a stylish setting. A large project choir from all over the district will also be prominently involved, providing an appropriate vocal accompaniment to this extraordinary opera production!

A classic musical theater comedy as a summery farmer's joke!
