La Rondine

Classification: U

 
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.
