New, young, and diverse audiences experienced Donizetti's Daughter of the Regiment in six sold-out shows in the Mill Ruins courtyard. Ticket sales indicated 2,200 audience members experienced the 2015 production. We used surveys to track the demographic information of our youth program. Reviews have been favorable. 2: MCSO's Artistic Director David Lefkowich assembled a stellar cast drawn from outstanding singers of local and national reputation to produce Daughter of the Regiment. Lefkowich, known for his fresh take on well-known operas worked alongside Music Director Brian DeMaris, a 2013 winner of The American Prize in Opera Conducting, and 82 cast and crew members were compensated to create this production.
