Comic opera in two acts (1840)
Music by GAETANO DONIZETTI (1797-1848)
Libretto by JULES HENRI VERNOY DE SAINT-GEORGES
and JEAN-FRANÇOIS ALFRED BAYARD
Performed in French
Love, war and dramatic turns of events: in La Fille du Régiment, Donizetti accomplished an opera more French than French opera itself. Désirée Rancatore and Celso Albelo set a fast pace for this sparkling and colourful comedy.
