(otoh, that might actually make it funnier)
#like getting married and joining the army are plot points but you can tweak the text OR the subtitles#i saw a production of this opera on saturday#it was very well done and beautifully sung#i hadn't been familiar with it going in other than one aria i hadn't remembered came from it#it definitely has one of the dumbest casts of characters in the opera world#l'elisir d'amore#operablr
