Puccini was also criticized during the war for his work on "La rondine" under a 1913 commission contract with an Austrian theater after Italy and Austria-Hungary became opponents in the war in 1914 (although the contract was ultimately cancelled).
Пуччини продолжал работать на оперой "La rondine", заказанной ему австрийским театром в 1913 году, и после того, как Италия и Австро-Венгрия стали врагами в 1914 (контракт, правда в конце концов был расторгнут).
