Peppered with exhilarating melodies, astonishing high notes and outrageous fun, Marie grappels between her patriotic loyalty to her "dear brothers" and the expectations of "polite" society.
Arizona Opera concludes its 2014/15 season with Gaetano Donizetti's whimsical and hilarious romp, The Daughter of the Regiment, a bright, sparkling comedy following Marie, a feisty young girl raised by a regiment of French soldiers high in the Alps.
