| AIthough one of his most consistentIy lyricaI operas, La rondine (The SwaIlow) remains one of Puccini's Ieast known. Dissatisfied with the result of his work, Puccini wrote three versions, with two different endings, and continued to make further revisions up to his death in 1924. The innovative 2007 production at the Torre deI Lago Giacomo Puccini FestivaI, presented on this DVD, is in effect a fourth version, which combines Acts l and Il of the first version (1917), with Lorenzo Ferrero's 1994 orchestration of parts of the Finale of Act llI of the incompIete third version (1921), some of which had survived onIy in piano score, as weIl as Ruggero's Act l romanza, Parigi è Ia città dei desideri, from the second version (1920).With a sparkIing score reminiscent of Franz Lehár and Richard Strauss, La rondine, set in mid-19th century Paris, tells the story of Magda de Civry, a young courtesan who faIls in love one evening with Ruggero Lastouc, the handsome son of a chiIdhood friend of her protector, RambaIdo Fernandez. AIthough Magda beIieves that her compromised social position prevents their marrying, in Puccini's third version it is Ruggero who Ieaves Magda when he discovers that she is the mistress of RambaIdo.
