Come and join us on May 25, 2024 to the MET in HD rebroadcast of Puccini’s  La RONDINE

Puccini’s bittersweet love story makes a rare Met appearance, with soprano Angel Blue starring as the French courtesan Magda, opposite tenor Jonathan Tetelman as Ruggero, an idealistic young man who offers her an alternative to her life of excess. Maestro Speranza Scappucci conducts Nicolas Joël’s glittering 1920s staging, which transports audiences from the heart of Parisian nightlife to a dreamy vision of the French Riviera.

The opera is sung in Italian with English surtitles.

The performance lasts 2 hours and 40 minutes that includes one 35 minutes intermission.
