The La Fille Du Regiment is a well known Italian Opera Comique. It was composed by Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti.
While staying in Paris, France Donizetti had time to reevaluate his work and made some changes to the Comique. La Fille Du Regiment first played on February 11, 1840 at the Opera-Comique, Paris and then at the La Scala Milan.
During 1847, the play was presented in English at the Surrey Theater. Eventually it was repeated in the same year in Italian with Jenny Lind a Swedish Opera singer.
The United States saw the inaugural performance of the La Fille Du Regiment in New Orleans. This occurred on March 7, 1843 at the Metropolitan Opera House. Also it was commonly played in New York at the Manhattan Opera House.
The opera is perhaps most known for its aria entitled ìAh! Mes amis, quell jour de fete!î or simply known as ìAh! Mes amisî. This aria is sometimes known as the Mount Everest for tenors who try to sing it.
