DONIZETTI’S OPÉRA COMIQUE

PRESENTED BY OPERA COMPANY OF MIDDLEBURY

La Fille du Régiment is a charming tale set in the picturesque Tyrolean Alps, where youthful rebellion, familial tensions, and blossoming romance take center stage. Follow Marie, a spirited orphan raised by a regiment of French soldiers, as she navigates the complexities of love and loyalty. When she falls for Tonio, a rebel opposed to her regiment, Marie must confront obstacles like war, paternal disapproval, and revelations about her noble lineage to achieve her desired happy ending.

Fully staged and directed by Douglas Anderson, full orchestra conducted by Filippo Ciabatti. La Fille du Régiment will be performed in French with English supertitles.
