Diana Damrau: Daughter of the Regiment from San Francisco Opera

Diana Damrau talks about her role as the energetic Marie in Donizetti's "La fille du régiment" (The Daughter of the Regiment).
A rambunctious tomboy raised by a group of soldiers is forced to assume the airs of an aristocrat in this delectable soufflé of an opera. The dazzling Diana Damrau, a coloratura soprano acclaimed by the Associated Press for her "rapid-fire runs and stratospheric high notes," makes her San Francisco Opera debut in the title role. She is joined by renowned Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez, who made The New York Times front page when he reprised his rendition of the opera's most challenging aria-hitting all nine high Cs not once but twice! Laurent Pelly's production is "by turns elegant, witty and laugh-out-loud funny," according to London's The Independent.

I love you for uploading this. I love you even more for uploading this in Full HD. I am dying inside for living so far away from SF *sigh*

I was so happy and lucky to get to see her in this. She (and the entire production) was spectacular.

I was lucky to be here on opening night with my opera loving grand mother for the last live opera she saw in her long, amazing life. We both agreed completely that Diana Damrau stole the show completely and beguilingly. She is just special.
A cherished memory for me!

I was beyond lucky to have attended the dress rehearsal from which this footage was filmed. So wish this full performance was available. Diana brought such exuberance to this role.

To answer my own question: there is no way to watch the whole thing. WHY DID THEY NOT RECORD THIS?! UGH.
