Marie-Claire MESTRES
ORCHESTRE DES SYMPHONISTES D’AQUITAINE
Gaetano Donizetti’s “La Fille du Régiment” (The Daughter of the Regiment) remains truly modern 185 years after its premiere!
Marie, canteen maid and mascot of a regiment of soldiers, is a young orphan girl raised by Sergeant Sulpice. She hopes to marry Tonio, a peasant turned officer, who has enlisted for love of her. The Marquise de Berkenfield, fleeing Austria, arrives in the middle of the regiment…
A joyous, burlesque opera that subtly criticizes social and military conventions, and shows that love transcends social barriers.

Les Nuits Lyriques and Cinéma Le Plaza have had close ties for many years, and this partnership pays tribute to the close ties between these two arts, which share a tendency to tell emotional and visual stories that arouse deep emotions in audiences.
Zhao Li leads a traditional Sichuan opera troupe that lives and performs together on the outskirts of Chengdu. When she receives a demolition notice for her theater. Zhao Li hides it from the other members of the company and decides to fight to find a new venue, where they can all continue to live and sing. And so begins a struggle for the survival of their art.
