Dear Ekaterina, just found your channel and want to say that I admire your art. Among other great qualities such technique and the voice, you also seem to be very very smart. Sending you warmest regards and a portion of admiration. Brava!

Peu connue et peu représentée, La Rondine est loin d'être une œuvre que l'on pourrait penser secondaire dans la production de Puccini. Ce n'est pas non plus une opérette, même si elle lui emprunte quelques codes, ni "la Traviata du pauvre" comme on l'a parfois surnommée. Puccini est alors au sommet de son art (pour s'en convaincre, il n'y a qu'à écouter son ouvrage précédent, La fanciulla del west), il a accompli cet exercice avec finesse et intelligence et sa Rondine est un véritable bijou.

Just received the Te Kanawa/Domingo/Maazel recording of Rondine. Love it but, in my opinion, there are many instances where the vocalists let the music define the delivery rather than the the characters. It often seems to be the case, because the characters are pretty ordinary people and the music is an extraordinary musical journey. When the singers are swept away by the music, the characters pay the price. Magda is a pretty level headed individual almost by necessity given her ‘profession’. Early in the opera she experiences a moment of nostalgia that she struggles with, resulting in her affair with a young student newly arrived in Paris. Later, when she comes to, she realizes this little fling could result in terrible consequences and musters the courage to break things off before too much damage is done. That demonstrates her strength of character and it costs her. That is the turmoil so incredibly realized in the music in this opera, but if the singer follows the music, the character is lost and the story makes little sense. That is precisely what this cast does not do and the results are what allowed my to fall in love with Rondine. When done right, it proves via Puccini that ordinary people can experience intense emotions and can make very difficult decisions without compromising their own integrity as ordinary people or even calling attention to themselves. I think it was Puccini’s idea for the future of opera. O Dio!! I hope this is my last comment on this. Thank you Magda, Ruggerio, Prunier, Lisette for your restraint in the face of such incredibly moving music. The results are profound. Valerio Galli, Orchestra and Chorus and everyone associated with this performance, thank you for bringing it to life.

Another Rondine showed up recently on KZbin. It's a recording, (1980s) not live, but Te Kanawa and Domingo perform with Maazel conducting. I finally was able to listen tonight and discovered that Maazel and company also got Rondine right! It's a little out of scale for the Rondine story, but with Domingo and Te Kanawa, the largeness is quite an experience. However, in spite of its size, it delivers Rondine with honesty and focus. I still find this Bakanova and co. performance to be the perfect fit, but I was amazed to find another Rondine that seemed to get at the core of the opera in a similar manner. I try to avoid judging vocal performances, since I am completely unqualified to offer such opinions, but after hearing this recording, I feel even more confident in expressing how impressed I am with all your performances.

Just gorgeous!

Beautiful very beautiful voice, soprano top, tenor top. The soprano voice touches my heart........Bakanova 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉

Not sure which ending I think is best. Both fittingly sad.

This is a gorgeous opera. I liked the soprano very much.

My talented colleague tenor who regularly sings Alfredo said Ms. Bakanova is one of the best partners he worked with.

Brilliant soprano

It’s a fun production. Sometimes looking weirdly Camp and comic versus romantic. Much is lost by 1960’s silly modernizing this opera but the singing is warm and bright enough. Some of the textures are rushed for some reason. The tenor Ruggero is so cute however the voice is a bit light for this part. 53:37 The lead Magda sings with bright and idiomatic tone with a great chest register. She looks stunning in every costume like an “It girl” giving off Kiera Knightly actress vibes. This performance is not overly sentimental however…rather highlighting the hyperactivity of the matchmaking. Again that is is another way to interpret this opera. A very dizzying romantic whirl of an opera.

uno schifo VERGOGNATEVI.......

povero Puccini....questi cantanti nn sanno proprio cosa sia la melodia e l intonazione......ma come si puo' calcare il palcoscenico in questo modo.....perdonali Giacomo
