With a mix of satire and sentimentality, the authors tell the tale of the naïve peasant Nemorino, who appears to need a love potion to win the affections of the wealthy farm owner Adina. It offers the huckster Dulcamara the perfect chance to unload a case of cheap Bordeaux. Donizetti sketches a nuanced picture of nineteenth-century village life through a nearly endless sequence of musical show-stoppers. The fact that the amorous adventures would have been resolved just as well without the magic elixir is a moot point: the quack uses the happy couple as a real-life testimonial to his wonder product.
