Time: 7:00 PM To 9:30 PM
Location: Jackson Hole Twin Cinema

The Grand Teton Music Festival presents Donizetti’s The Daughter of the Regiment, a Live in HD broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera. This frothy comedy mixes humor with a rush of buoyant melody and notorious vocal challenges. The story concerns a young orphan girl raised by an army regiment as their mascot and begins at the moment of her first stirrings of love. Complications (and comedy) ensue when her true identity is discovered. Tenor Javier Camarena and soprano Pretty Yende team up for a feast of bel canto vocal fireworks—including the show-stopping tenor aria “Ah! Mes amis,” with its nine high Cs. Maurizio Muraro is the comic Sergeant Sulpice and mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe is the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. Enrique Mazzola conducts.
