About The Metropolitan Opera: La Fille du Régiment
Madcap physical comedy and impeccable coloratura come together for Natalie Dessay’s indelible portrayal of the feisty tomboy raised by a regiment of French soldiers. Juan Diego Flórez is the young Swiss villager who conquers her heart—and a slew of high Cs. Also featuring uproarious performances by Felicity Palmer and Alessandro Corbelli, as well as a cameo by Tony Award winner Marian Seldes, this laugh-out-loud production was a runaway hit that left audiences exhilarated.
Directed by Gary Halvorson, Laurent Pelly, The Metropolitan Opera: La Fille du Régiment leans on a strong ensemble — Natalie Dessay, Juan Diego Flórez, Alessandro Corbelli — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2008.
