A bel canto classic that guarantees astounding singing, Donizetti’s ebullient comedy returns to the Met, with soprano Erin Morley making her role debut as Marie, the intrepid ‘daughter of the regiment’. She stars alongside high-flying tenor Lawrence Brownlee as her admirer, Tonio, with mezzo-soprano Susan Graham as Marie’s long-lost mother, the Marquise of Berkenfield, and bass-baritone Peter Kálmán as the gruff but goodhearted Sgt. Sulpice. Golden Globe Award-winning actress Sandra Oh makes an exciting Met debut as the Duchess of Krakenthorp.
