Where to Watch
Giacomo Puccini's 1917 comedy-of-manners opera takes a tragic turn with a new ending (the heroine commits suicide; Puccini had left the ending vague) in this production. Soprano Ainhoa Arteta stars as Magda, a wealthy banker's mistress, who disguises herself to pursue the young man of her dreams (tenor Marcus Haddock). Taped in March 1998 at the Kennedy Center. Lisette: soprano Inva Mula. Rambaldo: baritone William Parcher. Prunier: tenor Richard Troxell. Dixie Carter hosts.
