Intermountain Opera Bozeman will present Gaetano Donizetti’s “The Daughter of the Regiment” at the Willson Auditorium, Friday, October 14th at 7pm and Sunday, October 16th at 3pm. You’ll want to see this laugh out loud love story full of hijinks and vocal acrobatics. Regiment is a joyous comedy that blends hummable melodies and flag-waving anthems with innocent romance and plenty of slapstick.
An opera comique split in two acts, Donizetti’s lively and graceful comedy sparkles with high notes and great fun. In order to be together, two young lovers break down the social barriers between the military and polite society, making sure to have lots of fun along the way. The superb score includes exhilarating showcase arias, terrific ensemble pieces, and a healthy dose of musical parody. Funny, eloquent, and endlessly enjoyable.
Individual opera tickets cost $25–$75. Student and first time attendee discounts available. For further details, to purchase tickets, and information on group rates, call the Intermountain Opera office at (406) 587-2889.
