July 15, 2015, Wednesday - Mill City Summer Opera Presents The Daughter of the Regiment at Mill City Museum

Mill City Summer Opera (MCSO) is excited to present Gaetano Donizetti’s brilliant comedy The Daughter of the Regiment, directed by David Lefkowich, July 11-21, 2015.

Future performances: July 17, 19, 21, 8:00pm. Mill City Museum’s dramatic Ruin Courtyard will again be the venue for all performances.

This two act opera centers on Marie, the “daughter” of a regiment of soldiers who adopted her when she was a young girl and raised her as one of their own. Marie meets a local boy, Tonio, who joins the regiment in order to marry her. They soon fall in love. But the Marquise of Birkenfeld declares she is Marie’s aunt, and that Marie must leave the regiment to become a proper lady. Ultimately true love wins and Marie and Tonio are allowed to marry. The first act is set in the mountains of Tyrol, and the second takes place within the chateau of the Marquise de Birkenfeld.

Set to a French libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jean-François Bayard, this opera is known for its lighthearted, catchy music that captures the story’s humor with its playful yet challenging vocals. The opera’s dialogue that will be in English and all music and arias are in French. Supertitles will translate the French into English.
