The Gallic wit of Gaetano Donizetti's popular, two-act opera comes to the stage in this performance captured live on camera at the Sydney Opera House on August 9, 1986. An entertaining opera that features exceptional singing, La Filled u Régiment tells the tale of a young waif who falls for a Tyrolean youth after being adopted by a French army regiment, only to find her passion thwarted by a nobleman attempting to transform her into a proper society woman and marry her off to an aristocrat. Joan Sutherland, Anson Austin, and Gregory Yurisich star, and conductor Richard Bonynge leads the Australian Opera Chorus and Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
