By Gaetano Donizetti
Sung in English in a completely new version by Jeff Clarke
Opera della Luna’s new version of Donizetti’s opera comique
tells the old story in a new setting. Don’t expect comic opera soldiers in this
fast and furious adaptation. The Regiment is one of California’s most notorious biker
gangs. Mad, bad, and dangerous to know;
yet they have looked after the abandoned baby girl who was mysteriously left at
their camp many years ago. But who is this mysterious young woman who has lived
with them all her life, and grown up in a dangerous man’s world? And why is the
glamorous socialite Marsha Berkenfield so interested in her? The cast includes soprano Elin Pritchard as the
Daughter of The Regiment. Tonio, the
tenor with the 9 top C’s, will be sung by Jesus
Alvarez.
Running time: 2hrs 10mins + 20 min interval
