Gaetano Donizetti’s La Fille Du Régiment

 

Bel canto stars Pretty Yende and Javier Camarena team up for a feast of vocal fireworks on the Met stage. Baritone Maurizio Muraro plays Sergeant Sulplice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. La Fille Du Régiment is an opera in two acts conducted by Enrique Mazzola.

It tells the story of an adopted daughter of the 21st Regiment of the French army, named Marie, who fell in love with a boy (Tonio) who saved her life in spite of him being a part of the nation’s enemy. While fighting for their love for each other, their plans of getting married were torn into pieces as the true identity of Marie got exposed.
