She experiences a range of emotions as she hears from Dr. Dulcamara that Nemorino sold himself into the army to get the money to buy Elixir so he could win the love of some cruel beauty. She realizes that his is a true love, and she has spurned it.
Dr. Dulcamara (John Allec) sees an opportunity to sell more Elixir, this time to Adina, but she is quite confident about winning Nemorino without recourse to chemicals. “My Elixir is in my eyes and my smile,” she tells a frustrated Doctor.
