The Daughter of the Regiment

English

Approved

Marie was found on a battlefield as a baby, and raised by the entire 21st Regiment as their 'daughter'. Her foster-father Sulpice has decreed that she should marry a soldier from the Regiment. When Marie falls for the Tyrolean Tonio, it looks as though she may have to choose between her family and true love.

The situation becomes still more fraught when the haughty Marquise de Berkenfield arrives on the scene. She discovers that Marie is her niece, and insists on taking her away to bring her up as a lady. Tonio, who has joined the Regiment in order to marry Marie, is in despair. So is Marie, and matters get worse in her new home: she hates ladylike pursuits and is horrified to learn that she must make an aristocratic marriage. Can she get out of it without losing her aunt's affection? And will she ever see Tonio again? Yes, if the 21st Regiment has anything to do with it…

The Daughter of the Regiment by Donizetti, From (2019/2019), Directed by Laurent Pelly,, Conductor Evelino Pidò, Royal Opera House, London, United Kingdom
