Opera on the James Presents: Puccini’s La Rondine
Join us for Puccini’s melodic romance
LA RONDINE
In Italian, La Rondine (pronounced LAH RAWN-DEE-NAY) means The Swallow, a bird that brings good luck and new beginnings.
Set in sophisticated Paris, our opera tells the story of Magda, wealthy but world-weary. She finds a way to relive her carefree youth when she meets a handsome young man from the countryside. A romantic adventure begins, with a bittersweet ending that only Puccini can express in music that is both melodic and heartbreaking.
Join YOUR opera company for a lavish professional production. With large chorus and orchestra, brilliant singers, beautiful sets and ravishing costumes, this is an event not to be missed, the centerpiece of our 19th Season! Sung in Italian with supertitles in English, so you can follow every turn of this moving story.
Note that the event producer and Artist may change dates, times, and/or venues depending on the current COVID-19 environment. Ticket buyers will be updated by the Academy Center of the Arts staff, should any change to schedule or venue occurs.
