In the organizer's words:
Composer Gaetano Donizetti. Libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jean-François Bayard.
Opéra comique in 2 acts (1840)
A co-production with Teatro San Carlo, Naples
In French and German language. With German and English surtitles. New production.
La Fille du régiment, the regiment's daughter - this is the name given to young Marie, who was found as a child by soldiers on the battlefield. The troops decide to raise the apparently abandoned girl together. Of course, a young man soon appears who arouses her particular interest, and the secret of her origins does not remain undiscovered. In the best tradition of French opéra comique, Gaetano Donizetti and his team of librettists have created a piece that combines Alpine idyll, patriotic enthusiasm and romantic love with comic situations and over-the-top conflicts in an original way. At times Donizetti's most popular work, "The Regiment's Daughter" has faded somewhat into the background in the 20th century. In the first new production at the Bavarian State Opera in almost ninety years, this music, which is as amusing as it is subtle, can be rediscovered beyond the famous overture.
Damiano Michieletto's production focuses on the question of true identity: "The story moves on two levels: Nature and city. Nature as a symbol of an instinctive and spontaneous world and the city in the sense of a world of fine manners and high education. The performance plays these two sides off against each other, with extravagant costumes and funny characters who, at the very end, are finally freed from social labels and can happily assume their own identity."
