Discovered as a baby on the battlefield, tomboy Marie has been raised by the soldiers of the 21st regiment. Her ‘father’, Sergeant Sulpice, only wants her to marry within their ranks. Not a problem, says Tyrolean peasant Tonio, promptly joining the troops to be with Marie. But when the Marquise de Berkenfield crosses paths with the regiment, a long-buried secret about Marie’s past is revealed, placing her romantic plans in jeopardy. Can love conquer all?
Laurent Pelly’s larger-than-life production evokes military life in the Tyrolean alps with humour, style and a very big tank. Yves Abel conducts a wonderful cast, featuring Juan Diego Flórez and Jonah Hoskins, who share the role of Tonio, and Spanish soprano Sara Blanch, who makes her Royal Opera debut as the plucky heroine, Marie.

It is the home of The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Originally called the Theatre Royal, it served primarily as a playhouse for the first hundred years of its history. In 1734, the first ballet was presented. A year later Handel's first season of operas began. Many of his operas and oratorios were specifically written for Covent Garden and had their premieres there.
The current building is the third theatre on the site following disastrous fires in 1808 and 1857. The façade, foyer and auditorium date from 1858, but almost every other element of the present complex dates from an extensive reconstruction in the 1990s. The Royal Opera House seats 2,268 people and consists of four tiers of boxes and balconies and the amphitheatre gallery. The proscenium is 12.20 m wide and 14.80 m high. The main auditorium is a Grade 1 listed building.
