For the fifth time, the Gran Teatre del Liceu is reviving Mario Gas's production of The elisir of love, by Gaetano Donizetti, one of the most iconic shows of the house. When it was first performed –in the midst of post-fire exile and at the Teatre Victòria–, the production had already been seen at the Grec (1983) and, ten years later, at the Peralada Festival, until in 2005 it took to the stage of the Rambla.

It is unusual for the same work to have two premieres in a few months. But for those who knew the moving tragedy of Wadji Mouawad, Oriol Broggi premiered at the Library in June, we must recommend that you visit the Teatro Apolo now to see and hear (now in Spanish) Mario Gas's take on a tremendously topical play, even more so given the genocide in Gaza. This recommendation obviously extends to those unfamiliar with the play and to one of the most important playwrights of this century.
