La Rondine


 
CLOSE
Giacomo Puccini's 'La Rondine' recorded in January 2008 at Teatro la Fenice - on the big screen in high definition and Dolby Digital surround sound.

In 1913, the directors of Vienna’s Karlstheater commissioned Puccini to compose a Viennese opera. By the time he finished the La Rondine, intended to be a more organic and entertaining version of the already popular “comic opera,” it was 1917 and World War I had broken out. As a result, the production debuted in Monte Carlo instead of Vienna.

Although it was not one of Puccini’s most celebrated pieces, this light-hearted and charming opera has become increasingly popular in the last few years with productions at the Met, the San Francisco Opera and, of course, Venice's famed opera house, La Fenice.

Filmed live during the January 2008 premiere, the production, directed by Graham Vick, features an outstanding international cast conducted by Carlo Rizzi.

The story takes place in mid-19th century Paris and follows the love affairs of Magda, a charming yet erratic young lady who dreams of love. She leaves her lover, Rambaldo, to run off with the charming and idealistic Ruggero.

Glyndebourne - L'elisir d'amore (The Elixir of Love)


 

Set in an idyllic vision of a southern Italian village square, Donizetti's delightful opera tells of the romantic rivalry between the penniless Nemorino and the bumptious Sergeant Belcore for the love of the beautiful, bookish Adina. Her reading of the tale of Tristan and Isolde makes poor love-sick Nemorino think that the wonder-working Dr Dulcamara might have just the potion his heart requires.

Shakespeare's Globe - Love's Labour's Lost


 

'Love's Labour's Lost' recorded live at The Globe theatre in 2009 and on the big screen in high definition and digital surround sound. Shakespeare’s celebration of the claims of young love is a festive parade of every weapon in the youthful playwright’s comic arsenal – from excruciating cross-purposes to silly impersonations, drunkenness, bustups and pratfalls. It’s also his most joyful banquet of language, groaning with puns, rhymes, bizarre syntax, grotesque coinages and parody. This production employs Renaissance staging and costume.
