Diana Damrau: Daughter of the Regiment from San Francisco Opera

Diana Damrau talks about her role as the energetic Marie in Donizetti's "La fille du régiment" (The Daughter of the Regiment).

A rambunctious tomboy raised by a group of soldiers is forced to assume the airs of an aristocrat in this delectable soufflé of an opera. The dazzling Diana Damrau, a coloratura soprano acclaimed by the Associated Press for her "rapid-fire runs and stratospheric high notes," makes her San Francisco Opera debut in the title role. She is joined by renowned Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez, who made The New York Times front page when he reprised his rendition of the opera's most challenging aria—hitting all nine high Cs not once but twice! Laurent Pelly's production is "by turns elegant, witty and laugh-out-loud funny," according to London's The Independent.
