Hers is a relationship founded on a lie. Having fallen in love with a young man from a respectable family, the courtesan Magda de Civry is passing herself off as a shop girl. But with marriage on the table, can she continue the ruse forever — without betraying her lover, and herself?

That’s the dilemma at the heart of Giacomo Puccini’s rarely staged romance "La Rondine," our latest #OperaIsON free feature, starring soprano Angela Gheorghiu in a powerful company debut.

The sensual waltzes of France’s salon culture come to life under conductor Ion Marin’s baton, in an “lovely, engaging” Art Deco production that the San Francisco Chronicle raves is “worth the wait.” Tenor Gerard Powers delivers a “vocally resplendent” performance, alongside soprano Anna Christy and tenor Misha Didyk.
