This one was actually written in 1917 (said to be part of the reason for its failure originally -- no one was in the mood for light opera during WWI, it seems!) so they were only taking it forward a few years. But there's a CD cover that shows the same singers dressed in what I guess would be 1917 outfits: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2000/june00/RondineCDAlagna.JPG
Pretty, but I like the '20s costumes better. I'm glad they decided to move it to that era!
