About the Show
Laurent Pelly’s larger-than-life production returns, with Yves Abel conducting Donizetti’s comic opera. Juan Diego Flórez returns to the role of Tonio alongside Jonah Hoskins, starring alongside Sara Blanch in her Royal Opera debut as the plucky heroine, Marie.
Discovered as a baby on the battlefield, tomboy Marie has been raised by the soldiers of the 21st regiment. Her ‘father’, Sergeant Sulpice, only wants her to marry within their ranks. Not a problem, says Tyrolean peasant Tonio, promptly joining the troops to be with Marie. But when the Marquise de Berkenfield crosses paths with the regiment, a long-buried secret about Marie’s past is revealed, placing her romantic plans in jeopardy. Can love conquer all?
Laurent Pelly’s larger-than-life production evokes military life in the Tyrolean alps with humour, style and a very big tank. Yves Abel conducts a wonderful cast, featuring Juan Diego Flórez and Jonah Hoskins, who share the role of Tonio, and Spanish soprano Sara Blanch, who makes her Royal Opera debut as the plucky heroine, Marie.
