With Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu and Russian tenor Misha Didyk.

A thoroughly Italian work inspired by Viennese operetta, this rarely performed Puccini gem is all about love between a “kept” woman from high society and a naïve younger man of moderate means. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Ion Marin conducts La Rondiné in an opulent Art Deco production design by Nicolas Joël.

“[Gheorghiu’s] tone was strong but tender, with an irresistible blend of earthiness and purity…and when she lofted the high notes…[she] seemed to make time stand still.”
—San Francisco Chronicle.

Includes one 10-minute intermission.
