Synopsis: Peasant Nemorino is in love with beautiful and wealthy Adina. When Sergeant Belcore tries to win Adina over, Nemorino asks Dr Dulcamara, a travelling quack, for a magic love potion, to make Adina fall in love with him. He drinks the potion, unbeknown that it is wine. Adina agrees to marry Belcore. Nemorino enlists to buy more Elixir to enhance the 'magical effects'. The ladies talk how Nemorino's sudden wealth gains make him a suitable husband. Nemorino thinks the elixir is working. Adina learns about the elixir and buys the enlistment contract back from Belcore. Adina and Nemorino confess their love to each other.
