Spectrum Management Group has brought in magician Jon Finch to celebrate dinner, dessert, and entertainment for an exceptional experience November 2nd at the Indianapolis Museum of Art 4000 Michigan Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46208 in the Deer Zink room.
One of the themes of Donizetti’s Elixir of Love is that the belief in a falsehood can overcome fear and lead to the belief in something true and beneficial, such as when Dumbo gets the courage to fly from the “magic” feather.
There was no magic in the feather before Dumbo accepted it as a magic feather. Sometimes in this life, when learning to fly, a feather like that iswhat we need.
In Elixir of Love, the shy, stammering Nemorino buys the “elixir of love” (really a bottle of cheap wine), then with his new confidence proclaims his feelings for Adina.
That’s when the magic happens.
