Joshua Bell performs Donizetti's “Una furtiva lagrima“ from his opera “L'elisir d'amore“ Like Puccini's Nessun Dorma, Luciano Pavarotti's amazing vocal talents helped make this aria from Donizetti's opera “L'elisir d'amore“ more popular in the 20th century. “Una furtiva lagrima“ (A Furtive Tear) is the romanza taken from Act II, Scene VIII of the Italian opera, L'elisir d'amore by Gaetano Donizetti. It is sung by Nemorino (tenor) when he finds that the love potion he bought to win his dream lady's heart, Adina, works.
