About

Canadian soprano Teresa Stratas is recognised as one of the greatest singing actresses of her time. She has starred in many acclaimed operatic films and video releases of live stage performances. This DVD features Teresa Stratas in a lavish television production of Puccini’s La Rondine produced by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1971. A complex character, rich in humour and pathos, Magda is an ideal vehicle for Ms. Stratas’s prodigious vocal and dramatic talents.
