PART OF "SUMMER WITH THE MET ENCORE SERIES"
Madcap physical comedy and impeccable coloratura come together in Natalie Dessay’s tour de force portrayal of the feisty tomboy raised by a regiment of French soldiers. Complications (and comedy) ensue as she begins to feel the first stirrings of love for a young Swiss villager, played by Juan Diego Flórez, conquering a slew of high Cs. The action is startlingly simple and unencumbered by intricate subplots, allowing the full charm of the characters and their music to come across in an uninhibited way. Marco Armiliato conducts. Runtime: 165m
