# Event Details - **Event Name**: La Fille du regiment - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: Laurent Pelly’s larger-than-life production returns, with Yves Abel conducting Donizetti’s comic opera. Juan Diego Flórez returns to the role of Tonio alongside Jonah Hoskins, starring alongside Sara Blanch in her Royal Opera debut as the plucky heroine, Marie. 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. 📍 Venue Description: ## About Royal Ballet and Opera Royal Ballet and Opera is London’s world‑renowned home for opera, ballet and orchestral performance, recently rebranded from the Royal Opera House to better reflect the prominence of both The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera within one united organisation.
