Madcap physical comedy and impeccable coloratura come together for Natalie Dessay’s indelible portrayal of the feisty tomboy raised by a regiment of French soldiers. Juan Diego Flórez is the young Swiss villager who conquers her heart—and a slew of high Cs. Also featuring uproarious performances by Felicity Palmer and Alessandro Corbelli, as well as a cameo by Tony Award® winner Marian Seldes, this laugh-out-loud production was a runaway hit that left audiences exhilarated. Marco Armiliato conducts. Come see the production (originally transmitted on Saturday, April 26, 2008) which Bernard Holland of The New York Times called "industriously comic,” on Wednesday, July 22 at 6pm
