(4) DONIZETTI: The Daughter of the Regiment, an opera in two acts

A prolific composer during an opera-hungry age, Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1840) wrote roughly 70 operas for cities across Europe. Although many of his works have faded from memory, his classics Lucia di Lammermoor, Don Pasquale, and L'elisir d'amore have never left the world's stages. Written at the height of Donizetti's powers, La fille du régiment, an opéra comique first performed in Paris in 1840, is one of his best-loved works
