Elixir of Love
Dayton Opera’s 2008-2009 “Love Triumphant” season continues with Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love. To help audience members prepare for this performance, Dayton Opera is offering Opera Overtures, free-to-the-public talks about the opera’s story, history and other interesting tidbits.
These talks can be enjoyed by frequent opera-goers and those who have never been but are curious. A recent new patron who attended an Opera Overture was “inspired and excited” and found the presenter “wonderful, very charismatic and knowledgeable.”
Talks are one-hour long and led by Luke Dennis, Executive Director Elect for Muse Machine and opera guru extraordinaire. Dennis, a Yellow Springs resident, is originally from Wilmington, Ohio, and recently returned to the area from Boston, where he served as Education Manager for Boston Lyric Opera. He holds a B.A. in Music and Theatre from Wittenberg University and completed coursework for a Ph.D. in Theatre History, Literature and Theory at Tufts University.
