Two tickets to the Pittsburgh Opera's production of Daughter of the Regiment on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 7:00pm at The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts. 

Daughter of the Regiment - Music by Gaetano Donizetti • Libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jean-François Bayard 

THOSE FAMOUS NINE HIGH Cs are spectacular when you hear them live on stage! When fun-loving, tomboyish Marie meets Tonio, it's the beginning of a madcap romance, the discovery of Marie's real parents—and show-stopping arias for both lead singers, in Donizetti's frothy romantic comedy DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT (La fille du régiment).
Our production, sung in English, will feature star tenor Lawrence Brownlee as Tonio, singing those famous nine high Cs in "Ah, my friends (Ah, mes amis)," alongside Lisette Oropesa (The Abduction from the Seraglio, 2011) as Marie. Venerable mezzo-soprano Joyce Castle joins the cast as the irrepressible Marquise of Berkenfeld; Pittsburgh favorite Kevin Glavin (La bohème, 2014) returns as the old soldier Sulpice. Antony Walker conducts the Pittsburgh Opera Orchestra and Chorus.
