La Fille Du Regiment Critical Edition Vocal Score

by Claudio Toscani (editor), Gaetano Donizetti (Composer)

(Vocal Score). La fille du regiment, always one of Donizetti's most popular stage works, was first performed at the Theatre de l'Opera-Comique in Paris on 11 February 1840. It was composed by Donizetti, to a libretto by Saint-Georges and Bayard, in 1839. Later on, Donizetti prepared an Italian version as well, using a libretto adaptation by Calisto Bassi. The opera enjoyed tremendous success - at the Opera-Comique alone, more than one thousand performances were given between 1840 and 1917, and is widely staged in the major European and American opera houses.
