Amahl and the Night Visitors

Donizetti’s rollicking romantic comedy follows Marie, a young woman who was adopted and raised by an regiment of the French army, and Tonio, a young man who saved Marie’s life and is now desperately in love with her. When the Marquise de Birkenfield discovers that the “daughter” is her long-lost niece, she whisks Marie away to her chateau and arranges her marriage to a nobleman. However, a hidden secret and a surprise appearance by the regiment at the wedding softens the Marquise’s heart and reunites the two young lovers. A rousing combination of romantic love, hilarious antics, and esprit de corps—not to mention intoxicating music highlighted by spectacular vocal writing. Sung in French with English supertitles.
