Opera North - La rondine at The Lowry, Salford 17 November 2023 Tickets from £24.00 — Book now

Part of Opera North’s Green Season, love is back in fashion when La rondine comes to The Lowry.

Be transported to 1930s Paris, where romance, decadence and glamour await. Magda is the mistress of a wealthy banker but is willing to risk it all when she falls in love with young Ruggero. Meanwhile, her maid seeks happiness with a charming poet. But will there be a fairytale ending to their story?

James Hurley‘s new production captures all the warmth of a musical, as Puccini’s sweeping score, including ‘Chi il bel sogno di Doretta‘, weaves a captivating soundtrack. Join Opera North this November for La Rondine, a whirlwind of passion and scandal.
