Rondine, La
Giacomo Puccini Written when Puccini was unquestionably the most popular opera composer in the world, La rondine is finally gaining the popularity it deserves, with new productions frequenting the world's premier opera houses and finest sopranos coveting the leading role of Magda. Its combination of romantic melodies and 20th century musical styles perfectly defines the atmosphere of Paris, where Magda abandons a comfortable life as a kept woman to pursue true romantic love in the south of France. La rondine means "the swallow" and refers to the bird that flies south for the winter. Magda is faced with circumstances that force her to be completely honest with herself; heartbroken, she returns to Paris and her own life. Following her triumphant performance as Liù in Turandot, soprano Elizabeth Caballero returns to FGO to sing Magda's ravishing music.
