The Ópera en Cataluña Foundation (FOC) brings Donizetti's opera 'El elisir de amore' to Lleida's Teatro de la Llotja on November 8th at 6:00 PM. This performance marks the start of the 2026-2027 lyrical season, which will feature three major repertoire titles: the zarzuela 'Canción de amor y de guerra' by Rafael Martínez Valls (March 7, 2027), and Verdi's opera 'Aida' (May 19, 2027).
With this program, the theater reaffirms its commitment to lyrical music and its aim to bring opera and zarzuela closer to the public, consolidating Lleida as a benchmark venue in the Catalan operatic circuit. The production of 'El elisir de amore', directed scenically by Pau Monterde and musically by Daniel Gil de Tejada, features a distinguished cast of soloists and also includes performances by the 30th Opera School of Sabadell.
The Teatro de la Llotja is strengthening its commitment to cultural accessibility. For the performance of 'El elisir de amore', a tactile tour will be organized an hour before for blind or visually impaired individuals, and the show will include hearing assistance services, individual magnetic loops, and subtitling. It is recommended to choose seats from row 7 onwards to follow the subtitles.
The season also incorporates complementary activities to enrich the audience's experience, such as a pre-performance talk on November 8th by Meritxell Tena. Additionally, outreach talks are scheduled in various municipalities within the comarcas of Lleida to introduce opera to new audiences and reinforce Lleida's role as a cultural hub.
To facilitate access, the theater offers a season pass for €60, which includes all three productions. The Teatro de la Llotja is part of the circuit of theaters hosting productions by the Fundación Ópera en Cataluña. Tickets can be purchased at the box office and online.
