9:30pm on WGBH 44 – La Rondine - Saturday, September 5thSoprano Angela Gheorghiu and her husband, tenor Roberto Alagna, offer viewers a rare chance to experience Giacomo Puccini’s attempt to meld Italianate opera with the bittersweet Viennese operetta formula. La Rondine ("The Swallow") is the tale of an unhappy kept woman who opts for one last fling with an idealistic young man, then returns – like the swallow – to her rich benefactor, sadder yet wiser.
