Top bel canto tenor, Juan Diego Florez, and acclaimed Italian soprano Patrizia Ciofi lead a superb ensemble cast in Donizetti’s sparkling French language opéra-comique in a production that sets the action in the final days of World War II. Marie is the daughter of an American army captain, Tonio is a young French villager whose love for her leads him to join the American ranks. When the secret of Marie’s birth is revealed and her mother insists on an aristocratic suitor, only an appeal to the memory of young love can reunite them.
