Get Into the Spirit of Opera – The Elixir of Love

Get Into the Spirit of Opera: The Elixir of Love invites guests to experience the charm and humor of Donizetti’s beloved romantic comedy in an intimate, relaxed setting at Toledo Spirits on Thursday, January 29. Designed for both opera newcomers and longtime fans, this engaging pre-performance event blends live music, storytelling, and craft cocktails to bring the opera’s world to life.

The evening features signature cocktails created in collaboration between Toledo Opera and Toledo Spirits, thoughtfully inspired by the lighthearted and bubbly nature of The Elixir of Love. For every signature cocktail purchased, guests will be entered into a drawing to win two complimentary tickets to The Elixir of Love along with a Toledo Spirits gift certificate. A portion of cocktail proceeds will directly support Toledo Opera, with cocktail service continuing until the opera’s opening.

Attendees will enjoy live performances by members of the cast, offering a behind-the-scenes preview of the music and characters, along with opportunities to mingle with fellow opera enthusiasts in a welcoming, offstage environment. Get Into the Spirit of Opera provides a unique way to connect with the art form while supporting local culture, creativity, and community partnerships.
