La Rondine Summer Encore

An encore performance of Pucciniâ??s La Rondine will be shown in cinemas on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. in all time zones. Pucciniâ??s achingly beautiful score charmingly conveys the plight of Magda (the â??swallowâ? of the title), who unexpectedly finds true love with the handsome young Ruggero. But their idyllic life comes to a premature end as she is haunted by the fear that her checkered past will ruin his future. Opera stars Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna portray Pucciniâ??s star-crossed lovers. Nicholas Joëlâ??s production features elegant and sophisticated art-deco sets that contribute to the dazzling stage picture.
