On this episode of Opera Apéro, I talk to my friend Lex (she/her) about L'elisir d'amore by Gaetano Donizetti. Unlike an earlier Donizetti opera episode (looking at you, Lucia), this opera is the 18th century version of a comforting romcom flick. It's the story of a rural worker longing for the love of a farm-owner with her head in a book, the magical potions he buys from a traveling medicineman to win her over. Lex is the founder of the Modality Group, a sex tech consulting company, and brought all her industry expertise to the show. We discuss the similarities between love elixirs, aphrodisiacs and sex products; claims and words used by sex toy companies, holistic health, and learn how to identify trustworthy sex tech companies.
