    Madcap physical comedy and impeccable coloratura come together in soprano Natalie Dessay’s indelible portrayal of the feisty tomboy raised by a regiment of French soldiers. Tenor Juan Diego Flórez is the young Swiss villager who conquers her heart—and a slew of high Cs. Also featuring uproarious performances by mezzo-soprano Felicity Palmer and baritone Alessandro Corbelli, as well as a cameo by Tony Award–winner Marian Seldes, the performance left audiences exhilarated by this laugh-out-loud production.

    Act I

    Marie, the “daughter” of the 21st regiment of the French army, is in love with Tonio, a Tyrolean. Tonio loves her as well, but Marie has promised to marry only a soldier from the 21st. When the Marquise of Berkenfield, traveling through the area, learns from the sergeant Sulpice how Marie was found as an orphan, she claims her as her niece and resolves to take the girl to her castle. Tonio has enlisted so that he can marry Marie, but she has to leave both him and her regiment.

    Act II

    The marquise has arranged for Marie to marry the Duke of Krakenthorp. Unhappy with her new life at the castle, Marie is delighted when the whole regiment marches in. Tonio asks for her hand, but the marquise dismisses him. Alone with Sulpice, the marquise confesses the truth: Marie is her illegitimate daughter whom she had abandoned. When Sulpice tells Marie, she declares that she cannot go against her mother’s wishes. As she is about to sign the marriage contract, the regiment, led by Tonio, storms in to rescue her. Marie describes her upbringing to the shocked guests and explains that she can never repay the debt that she owes the soldiers. The marquise is so moved that she gives her daughter permission to marry Tonio.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
