In recent years, largely as a result of the popularity of the aria ‘Chi il bel sogno di Doretta' and the breathtaking chorus in Act ll, ‘Bevo al tuo fresco sorriso', La rondine has become a huge hit. It is a deeply moving and affecting opera and contains gorgeous, flowing melody and a powerfully drawn character in Magda de Civry (the ‘Swallow' of the title) who gives up her fiancé in order to protect his family honour.
