La Rondine, Puccini's only comic opera, rarely finds its way onto the stage. Yet it is a fascinating work with a wealth of exuberant waltzes and lovely melodies. In Nicolas Joël's Art Deco production, the bittersweet love story between the glamorous courtesan Magda and the idealistic young Ruggero, for whom she leaves her rich suitor, transports us from the heart of Parisian nightlife to a dreamlike vision of the Côte d'Azur. Chilean tenor Jonathan Tetelman makes his eagerly awaited Met debut.
