"La fille du RÚgiment" is Donizetti's (1797 - 1848) first French opera and has a light-hearted character. There is also an Italian version that was performed more than the French one. This new recording will be sung again in French. Marie, mascot of the 21st regiment, falls in love with Tonio. They want to get married, but Marie's mother stops this. Ultimately, the mother is so moved by her daughter's
… grief that she gives permission anyway. The opera will be performed by Edita Gruberova (Marie), Deon van der Walt (Tonio), Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks and M³nchener Rundfunkorchester conducted by Marcello Panni.more
