Description
| Summary: | With one virtuosic vocal display after another, Donizetti's charming romantic comedy has long served to showcase talented bel canto singers on the Met stage. This tradition continued during the 2018-19 Live in HD season, when soprano Pretty Yende and tenor Javier Camarena thrilled audiences as the smitten young lovers Marie and Tonio. Yende offers an exuberant portrayal as the titular "Daughter of the Regiment," while Camarena serves up nine effortless high Cs in the opera's famous aria "Ah! Mes amis ... Pour mon âme"--A feat which he encores by popular demand. Enrique Mazzola conducts Laurent Pelly's witty and heartwarming production, which also stars mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the overbearing Marquise of Berkenfield, bass-baritone Maurizio Muraro as Sgt. Sulpice, and award-winning actress Kathleen Turner in a featured cameo appearance as the Duchess of Krakenthorp
