The Metropolitan Opera is set to present Puccini’s “La Rondine” in Live in HD.

The opera will be transmitted live on April 20, at 12:55 p.m. ET and will star soprano Angel Blue as Magda and tenor Jonathan Tetelman as Ruggero.

They will be joined by soprano Emily Pogorelc and tenor Bekhzod Davronov as well as bass-baritone Alfred Walker. Maestro Speranza Scappucci conducts Nicolas Joël’s Art Deco–inspired staging.

Regarding the opening night, OperaWire said, “Emily Pogorelc & Bekhzod Davronov Debut at the Met to Rousing Results While Jonathan Tetelman Shows Promise.” It also said, “Angel Blue’s finest moments came at the end of the Act in her small but crucial monologue as she has mixed feelings about finding true love and leaving her life with Rambaldo. “
