Daughter of the Regiment: La Fille du régiment Donizetti

Donizetti’s Daughter of the Regiment is delicious French whimsy, written by an Italian, and sung in English.

A canteen girl brought up by a rollicking regiment of soldiers is expected to marry a soldier but her heart strays elsewhere. Cue: much hilarity and many high notes from both the canteen girl and her lover Tonio – whose aria Ah mes amis! features a terrifying sequence of top C’s.

Soprano Julia Sitkovetsky is famed throughout Europe for her high notes. Her signature role of Queen of the Night has taken her to Hamburgische Staatsoper, Semperoper Dresden, Deutsche Oper am Rhein and Welsh National Opera.

National Treasure, Dame Penelope Keith, makes a celebrity guest appearance in the speaking role of the formidable Duchess of Crakentorp.
