Adina is a character in the opera "L'elisir d'amore" by Gaetano Donizetti. She is the main female character and the love interest of the protagonist, Nemorino.

Adina is a wealthy and beautiful landowner, who is courted by many suitors in her small village. She is intelligent, independent, and somewhat aloof, and enjoys teasing and taunting Nemorino, who is hopelessly in love with her. Despite her cool demeanor, Adina is not heartless, and eventually realizes that she has feelings for Nemorino as well.

Throughout the opera, Adina's character evolves as she navigates the complex web of relationships and emotions that surround her. She is a complex and nuanced character, who embodies the ideals of love, independence, and personal growth. Her interactions with Nemorino, the lovestruck peasant, provide a comedic and touching portrayal of the joys and challenges of falling in love.
