3 DIRECTOR’S NOTE

When Puccini began to take an interest in his own form of operetta — by historical counts about 1912 but possibly earlier — he originally thought about La Rondine in the context of a book operetta, such as the big hits and Die Lustige Wifke (now The Merry Widow). What he migrated towards was , with no spoken dialogue but with a clear harkening to operetta. What evolves is a piece that includes influences from all of these works and others (La Traviata, principally). Puccini also seems to be aware of the emerging art form of film (still silent), and the script, as adapted by Adami, became an extraordinary treatise on the di¦erence between the exchange of sex for money and the ideal of romantic love. The result is a wonderful, painful mix for the character of Magda, formerly Paulette, before she became a mistress. In Act One we see her in her glamorous home, being o¦ered gifts by her benefactor, Rambaldo. Life is as it has been § fun and vacuous. At the suggestion of a song by composer Prunier (Il Bel Sogno di Doretta), she remembers a moment at a bar, Bullier’s, where she met a young man and had a brief but romantic flirtation. In Act Two, all of her friends, including Lisette and Prunier, decide to go to Bullier’s for a nightcap. (Bullier’s was famous for being open late.) Magda, however, decides to go in disguise as a student and encounters another young man, Ruggero, with whom she falls in love. The spectacular quartet and ensemble in this act is based on the ideal of a love that wants a spiritual connection. In Act Three, we see Ruggero and Paulette at an inn by the sea, but visited by past haunts Prunier and Lisette and a letter from Ruggero’s mother. The result is Paulette’s decision to revert to Magda, leaving Ruggero broken-hearted. Puccini was a master, and his style is famous not only for making opera more accessible, but for protracting an art form while film began to creep in, and in some ways take over. He does, with La Rondine as well as La bohème and Madame Butterfly, principally but not exclusively, develop the art form of opera along the lines of Gluck, Mozart, and Verdi to adapt to current audience expectations and style. He achieves, in my mind at least, the beginning of the synthesis of great orchestration and storytelling in film, such as The Philadelphia Story and The Lady Eve especially. While 20 years away, as the cameras rolled and the orchestra played… they talked. – David Grabarkewitz
