| Classical; THE FIVE BEST CONCERTS
Independent, The (London), Nov 13, 2004 by Mark Pappenheim La Rondine - 2 Nicolas Joel directs Angela Gheorghiu, Jonas Kaufmann, and a panoply of new young talent as they perform against the backdrop of Ezio Frigerio's lavish art nouveau sets. "This was an enjoyable performance. Gheorghiu is a star, after all, with a voice and appearance of rare beauty, and she was strongly partnered by the Ruggero of Jonas Kaufmann, making a welcome Covent Garden debut. This personable German lyric tenor may not be a natural for this repertory, but he sings with great elegance and musicality." The Daily Telegraph |

| Ainoa Arteta and Marcus Haddock perform the controversial alternate conclusion to Puccini's La Rondine. Rather than Magda making the sacrifice by leaving Ruggero because as a courtesan she can't enter his respectable home, Ruggero learns of her past via a mysterious letter and denounces her. Magda then choses death over returning to a man (Rambaldo) who treats her like a possession. |
