Shy Guy or Mr. Cool? Which one will she choose? Adina has her choice of two ardent suitors: Sergeant Belcore looks really good in his uniform and knows it—but he’s not without his charms. And Nemorino’s got a heart of gold, but he’s no poet laureate when it comes to expressing his feelings. Enter “doctor” Dulcamara with a “magic” potion he promises will make Nemorino the man of Adina’s dreams—after just one sip!

Music by Gaetano Donizetti. Words and Story adaptation by Mary Dibbern. Featuring The Dallas Opera Orchestra.

Kindness is contagious.

Three little goats are heading home after a day of play, but a mean billy goat blocks their way and steals one of their toys. How will our heroes get across the bridge and beat the bully once and for all?
