Daughter of the Regiment
Boston Lyric Opera
Love, liberty, and laughs— a revolutionary comedy for America’s 250th.
Laughter meets revolutionary spirit in BLO’s staging of Donizetti’s glorious comedy. Inspired by the life of Deborah Sampson, the Massachusetts revolutionary who disguised herself as a man to fight for independence, this production transports us to Revolutionary-era Boston, telling a heartfelt tale of love and loyalty to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. With a new English dialogue by Kirsten Greenidge, it’s a patriotic toast to America at 250—and to the rebels who shaped it.
The participation of Kirsten Greenidge is supported in part by an Anonymous Donor.
