The New York Times says: “A Top Soprano Brings Some Zulu to The Metropolitan Opera. And It Clicks!”

Soprano Pretty Yende brings a bit of her "true self" to the role of Marie when she ad libs briefly in Zulu, which she grew up speaking in South Africa.

Donizetti's infectious comedy La Fille du Régiment (The Daughter of the Regiment) stars the unbeatable bel canto duo of soprano Pretty Yende and tenor Javier Camarena. Don't miss this delightful production on stage through March 2: bit.ly/2RDudUk
