This 1954 Italian production of Donizetti’s great opera L’ELISIR D’AMORE stars tenor Cesare Valletti as the smitten imbibing Nemorino. As the object of his affection the rich Adina soprano Noni gives a gorgeous performance. This all-Italian opera film gives a rendition of the classic romantic opera that ranks with the very best.
