(Light House Opera & Ballet) La Bohème (2008) Directed by: John Copley |
|
La bohème is one of the most famously melodious and eternally popular of all operas and returns to The Royal Opera this autumn, but for only four performances. The carefree attitude of youth and the harsh realities of life are poignantly contrasted through the tender affair of Mimì and Rodolfo, from the heights of first meeting through to the tragic end. The production is one of the Company’s most loved, bringing to life Paris of 1830 in detailed sets and costumes as we travel with the characters between bare attic, crowded café and a wintery street right on the city’s edge. A fine cast of names familiar from previous Royal Opera performances is under the expert baton of Christian Badea, a conductor especially noted for his interpretations of Puccini. With that composer’s mastery of orchestral colour matched to the superb playing of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, La bohème will be an evening of great sound, engrossing imagery and stirring drama. | |
