La Fille du régiment

Laurent Pellys, master of affectionate humor and theatrical comedy, created a timeless, amusing and extremely popular production that made Donizetti's heart-warming opera a reference production. The first act shows an oversized, multi-folded map of Tyrol, which in this way visualizes an imposing mountain landscape, while in the second act an implied salon forms the setting for slapstick interludes and highly bizarre situations. The production was created in 2007 as a co-production of the Vienna State Opera, the New York Met and London's Royal Opera House.
