Notes & Reviews:

The 2008 schedule at La Fenice includes a special treat for opera-goers: a production of Puccini's seldom-performed opera, "La Rondine" (The Swallow). Now this rarity can also be rediscovered on DVD. The score of the operetta-like three-act "lyrical comedy", which tells the story of the love between Magda and Ruggero, must be one of Puccini's most subtle creations. The light, bubbling music reveals levels of artistry and complexity that few composers have ever matched.
