Laurent Pelly's funny and charming interpretation of La Fille du régiment has fast become one of the most popular of all Royal Opera productions, repeating its success worldwide.
Donizetti's comic masterpiece is full of great music, from the touching and sincere to the comic and quirky. Memorable and melodic, the score is packed with dazzling coloratura, beautiful solos and great choruses. For this return, the fabulous voices of Patrizia Ciofi and Colin Lee hit the high notes and tug at the heart strings, with Yves Abel conducting.
The story has all the elements of comic coincidence and timely discovery as our tomboy heroine is forced into more ladylike circles suitable to her aristocratic birth, but she proves far too spirited to give in to any wishes but those of her own heart.
