## Summary

Full score for the Act I Aria 'Chi il bel sogno di Doretto' from Giacomo Puccini's light opera 'La Rondine', arranged for solo soprano and orchestra.

## Description

LA RONDINE (THE SWALLOW) is a comic opera composed by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924), with Italian libretto by Giuseppe Adami, translated and adapted from a German libretto by Alfred M. Willner and Heinz Reichert. Magda, the mistress of the wealthy Rambaldo, meets the poet and fortune teller, Prunier, at a party and is intrigued by his reading that she is a "swallow" and needs true love to be happy. Emboldened by this revelation, she meets and falls in love with Ruggero and leaves Rambaldo but returns to him at the end of the opera when she realizes that Ruggero's family would not accept her past career as a courtesan. LA RONDINE premiered at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo in Monaco in March 1917. Puccini made three versions (1917, 1920, 1921) of this work but died before clearly deciding on a final version. Magda's Act I aria "Chi il bel sogno di Doretto", which she sings over a piano, memorably appeared in the 1986 film A Room with a View. Instrumentation: 2.2+EH.2+BCl.2: 4.0.3.0: Timp: Hp.Clst.Pno: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set). Reprint edition.
