Tonight (Friday 22 September) is the second of the three concert performances we’re doing of one of Puccini’s lesser known operas, _La Rondine_. It’s rather a lovely work. Our choir’s involvement isn’t very substantial - just small amounts of "background’ music during the big party scene in Act 2 - but we’re enjoying the experience, and the the soloists are all very good.

Tonight’s performance is being broadcast live from the Opera House at 8.00pm\* Sydney time on ABC Classic FM [here](http://www.abc.net.au/classic/) (just click on the **Listen Now** link).
