Nicolas Joël's production draws on the glamour and glitter of 1920s France. In the chic surroundings of her Parisian salon, Magda celebrates passionate love in the memorable song 'Doretta's Dream' and in an Art Nouveau-inspired café, the lovers chat to a leisurely foxtrot. Giacomo Puccini's score is influenced by Viennese operetta and infused with popular dance rhythms, from two interwoven waltz themes in Act II to lively polkas and tangos. The final act moves to a hotel on the French Riviera where the lovers bid a heart-breaking farewell in soaring melodies, before Magda -- the 'swallow' of the title -- flies away.
