This comic opera masterpiece has served as a tour de force of the high voices making the likes of Luciano Pavarotti and Beverly Sills famous over night. A French regiment's adopted "daughter" Marie falls in love with Tonio, a civilian, but her army of "fathers" will only allow her to marry a soldier. In a series of comic plot twists, a prominent Marquise arrives to claim Marie as her "niece" and promises her to a man of position. Her true love, not to be denied, enlists, hoping to meet that marriage requirement, but finds the Marquise firm in her opposition. As the arranged marriage proceeds, her lover and the Regiment arrive with pomp and bravado to save her from a loveless marriage. Seeing Marie's despair, the Marquise relents and allows her to marry Tonio.
