The Metropolitan Opera: La Fille du Régiment

The Metropolitan Opera: La Fille du Régiment (2008) is a comedy, music film directed by Laurent Pelly, Gary Halvorson rated 7.0/10.

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.
