Скачать или смотреть Donizetti’s La Fille du Régiment: “Par le rang et par l’opulence” (Erin Morley)

Erin Morley sings an excerpt from Marie’s Act II aria in the final dress rehearsal. Production: Laurent Pelly. Conductor: Giacomo Sagripanti. 2025–26 season. Videography by Neville Braithwaite.

Set in the picturesque Tyrolean Alps, this frothy comedy mixes humor with a rush of buoyant melody and impressive vocal pyrotechnics. The story concerns a young orphan girl raised by an army regiment and the complications (and hijinks) that ensue when her true identity is revealed. The action is startlingly simple and unencumbered by intricate subplots, allowing the full charm of the characters and their music to come across in an uninhibited way. Donizetti’s score deftly combines jaunty military tunes, brisk comic numbers, enormously graceful ensembles, and sparkling arias.
