Tacoma Opera will present Donizetti's Daughter of the Regiment starting Friday evening. A great opera for seasoned listeners, as well as first time opera goers. This is a comic opera, with a wonderful plot, and beautiful music. A great opportunity for all of our community to experience wonderful entertainment and music making.
Here is the cute synopsis on the Tacoma Opera website, "Boys meets girl. Boy sings a bunch of high notes. Boy loses girl. Girl sings a bunch of high notes. Boy gets girl. Everyone lives happily ever after. This comedy about a young woman raised by a French regiment is that simple, that sweet, and that utterly delightful."

And the big tenor aria from this opera earned Pavarotti the title "King of the High C's".
