The Metropolitan Opera: La Fille du Régiment

Bel Canto stars Pretty Yende and Javier Camarena team up for a feast of vocal fireworks on the Met stage.

Overview

Tenor Javier Camarena and soprano Pretty Yende team up for a feast of bel canto vocal fireworks—including the show-stopping tenor aria “Ah! Mes amis,” with its nine high Cs. Alessandro Corbelli and Maurizio Muraro trade off as the comic Sergeant Sulpice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. Enrique Mazzola conducts.
