Swiss Tyrol. Marie, a young orphan, has been adopted by a regiment of soldiers. She meets Tonio, a civilian, and falls in love, but the soldiers oppose the marriage until Tonio enlists in the regiment. The Marquise de Berken eld claims Marie as her lost niece, takes her to her castle and tries to educate her to be a nobleman's wife. But meanwhile, Tonio and the regiment refuse to give Marie up...
The Liceu presents this new version of Laurent Pelly's much lauded production, which combines social criticism with a keen sense of humour, against a background of beautiful scenery.
A glittering cast, headed by Javier Camarena, Sabina Puértolas, Ewa Podles and Simone Alberghini, sing this refreshingly amusing opera by Donizetti.
