Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" Preview Breakfast and Talk

Prior to the MET Live in HD broadcast of La Fille du Regiment at the Taos Center for the Arts, the Taos Opera Guild will host a Preview Breakfast at Doc Martin's restaurant in the Taos Inn.   After enjoying a Doc Martin's breakfast at your own expense, there will be a preview talk.  The preview, delivered by Paul Neuman, is an ideal introduction to the history of the opera, the current production and provides an opportunity to ask questions.  This would be the perfect primer for an opera novice, so all who are interested are encouraged to come for breakfast, the preview or both!

You must make a reservation for the Preview Breakfast so that Doc Martin's can properly staff the restaurant!  If you register/RSVP on the Taos Opera Guild website for the breakfast, a reservation at Doc Martin's will be made for you.  If you don't register, please call Doc Martin's at (575) 758-2233 by Friday, March 1st to make a reservation for the Preview Breakfast.

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.

Runtime is 2 hours 35 minutes including one intermission.
