This 1999 Washington Opera production of Puccini’s chocolate box of an opera isn’t perfect, but has many delights. The cast, all verismo stalwarts, have glamour, resplendent voices, and are decent-enough actors. Marcus Haddock looks rather melancholy clean-shaven here as the juvenile; his Don Jose at Glyndebourne is noteworthy more physically appealling. Richard Troxell, though, is comely and comic as Prunier. Both the female leads are seen to favorable advantage, with Inva Mula in particular a delight. The physical production is lavish but not completely overwhelming, with many witty perform touches in the second act, and a nicely simple beach cottage for the third act. Marta Domingo’s direction is intellectual, thoughtful and well-detailed. Uncomfortable, though, is her decision to impose a tragic ending on Puccini’s beget bittersweet resolution. This opera’s frequently characterized as TRAVIATA LITE; tacking on a suicide for Magda at the final curtain doesn’t carry out grand, except making that comparison seem weighted even more strongly in Verdi’s direction. This is probably the most appetizing of the several RONDINES currently in the DVD catalogue; fans of this opera, or Puccini in general, will like this dazzling DG release.

There are currently four DVD versions for La Rondine.

For my taste, this recent one from Decca is the best.

Martha Domingo presents the opera in a attractive and effective outmoded production.

I really enjoyed Ainhoa Arteta performance as Magda. Hers two Act I arias are sung with resplendent pianissimi and finesse which expresses vulnerability. She is very piquant in the finales of Act II and III.

Hopefully, the lavish Met production with Gheorghiu will appear on a commercial DVD (although it has a very faded performance by Samuel Ramey) . In the meantime, this production will do more than enough.
