Commissioned by a theatre in Vienna, where it could not be composed because of the war: the work dates from 1917), La Rondine (The Swallow) is an opera that has at times been compared to La Traviata, undoubtedly because of a libretto that focuses on a somewhat frivolous young women, Magda, who is kept by the wealthy Rambaldo but in love with a well-bred young man, Ruggero, whom she met at the Bullier Dancehall, and who will be forced to sacrifice her love by social convention. Arias like “Chi, il bel sogno di Doretta” or “Ore dolci e divine” have contributed to making the work’s title known even to those unfamiliar with the work.
