(BASKING RIDGE, NJ) -- Light Opera of New Jersey is proud to present a vibrant new production of Donizetti's beloved comic opera, The Elixir of Love ("L'Elisir d'Amore"). This colorful and fresh take has been brought to life by acclaimed director, Stefanos Koroneos. Performances take place November 8-9, 2024 at Sieminski Theater.
This modern setting of Donizetti’s beloved classic is a co-production between Teatro Grattacielo, Camerata Bardi International Academy and Light Opera of New Jersey, and showcases a cast exclusively made up of the next generation of opera stars. Camerata Bardi International Academy 2024’s young artists will own the stage to give life to eccentric characters in this reinterpretation of the Italian comic opera L'Elisir d’Amore, in which saturated colors will resonate with rose infused patterns to visually empower Donizetti’s delightful music.
The production was designed and directed by Stefanos Koroneos and will be led by Maestro Jason Tramm and the Light Opera of New Jersey Orchestra.

In 1995, William Corson and Lauran Fulton Corson created a small but ambitious troupe named Ridge Light Opera to specialize in performances of musical theater, comic/light opera, and operetta. Their efforts soon gained momentum, garnering favorable notice from an expanding circle of audience members, performers, and directors. In 2013, the organization changed its name to Light Opera of New Jersey (LONJ) to reflect this expanding sphere of influence and nearly two decades of high caliber musical shows.
LONJ performs full-scale productions at SOPAC (South Orange Performing Arts Center) and the Fellowship Community Arts Center in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. In addition, the company presents workshops, cabarets, concerts and outreach programs in various locales.
