TIME Goes to the Opera

1940: Daughter of the Regiment
"So for the first time in 22 years, the Met revives The Daughter of the Regiment, whose bubbling tunes were written by Gaetano Donizetti a century ago. It revives it specifically as an ear-tickling, eye-tickling vehicle for Coloratura Pons, who is vocally and boxofficially about the best there is."
