How wrong I was! La Boheme is even better! This production in the Madrid royal theater is unbelievable. Everything in this blueray production is fabulous, the sound is exquisite the video is fantastic and, of course, the critically acclaimed performance by the star studded ...             Puccini: La Boheme / Jonathan Miller, English National Opera Alfie Boe, Melody Moore Kultur, 2010 Puccini's tragic love story is set in the Latin Quarter of Paris among the bohemian students whose hectic gaiety only partially masks the despair and pain that threaten their lives. It remains one of the most popular of all operas with its stark contrasts of lively humor and poignant tragedy. In this ENO recording by Jonathan Miller, he and designer Isabella Bywater have set Puccini's opera in the Paris of the 1930s, the era of the Depression. ...             Giacomo Puccini - La Bohème / Francesca Zambello · Tiziano Severini - M.

She does not disappoint me here. Yes, at this stage, her voice is a size too large for Mimi, more suitable for heavy verismo such as Tosca, Fedora and Manon Lescaut. The voice is far heavier than in her two previous studio recordings from the 60's and 70's. The vibrato is also a trifle wider than it was but all ...             Puccini: La Boheme [Blu-ray] Alfie Boe, Melody Wood Kultur, 2010 Puccini's tragic love story is set in the Latin Quarter of Paris among the bohemian students whose hectic gaiety only partially masks the despair and pain that threaten their lives.

The original cast included thee of opera's best known performers: Teresa Stratas as Mimi, Jose Carreras as Rodolfo, and Renata Scotto, so often cast as Mimi was Musetta. Critics praised the cast but were mixed as far as reviews ...             La Boheme: The Film49 reviews Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazon KULTUR VIDEO, 2009 What a performance!! The performance was outstanding!! Also quite interesting the coments by the Director and also those of Anna and Rolando. Happy to have this in my collection.             Puccini - La Boheme / Pavarotti, Scotto, Niska, Wixell, Plishka, Levine, Metropolitan Opera26 reviews Renata Scotto, Luciano Pavarott Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Perfection I found every detail of this production to be unimprovable. True, the film is old and grainy and sometimes slightly blurry. But it doesn't matter. The casting and vocals are unbeatable. I'm so glad to have seen Pavarotti in this role and in his prime, when he fully committed to everything with his whole being rather than just vocally doing so. He is superb (though he wobbles on the High C in ...             Giacomo Puccini: La Boheme9 reviews Teresa Stratas, Renata Scotto Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 The Best La Boheme available on DVD! With all the versions and different casts available, this is still the best version of LA BOHEME with the Covent Garden (Allen, Shicoff et.al) producton second due to quality of singing, acting, costumes and sets. The chemistry and emotion is all there after all these years. I recommend this version as far superior above all others including the new movie with Villazon and Netrebko.

I remember seeing this when it was broadcast on PBS in the 90s and being appreciative of the youthful performers but little else. What a difference time makes! My disappointment in David Hobson's lighter-than-expected voice was replaced by his pathos in Act III; he and Cheryl Baker really "sold" that scene in a way I've not experienced in the opera house.

No matter how many times I've seen it I find something new. Very different from Aki Kaurismaki's "Leningrad Cowboys". Cameo apperances by Louis Malle and Sam Fuller. Matti Pellonpaa, who plays Rodolfo in ...             Puccini - La Boheme15 reviews Mirella Freni, Gianni Raimondi Deutsche Grammophon, 2006 My favorite La Boheme I have had this DVD for years. Newer La Boheme's come and go and this one is still my favorite. I like Gianni Raimondi's Rudolfo more than Pavarotti's because I like his voice better. I think he just passed away last year. He didn't miss a note in "Che Gelida manina", unlike the newer versions where the aria is transposed down to accommodate the tenors. Some people say that transposing the ...             Puccini - La Boheme / Alvarez, Gallardo-Domas, Hong, Servile, de Carolis, Parodi, Bartoletti, La Scala Opera6 reviews Marcelo Alvarez, Cristina Gallardo-Domas Tdk DVD Video, 2005 Wonderful Having watched and listened to La Boheme for various times, it is this particular La Boheme from La Scala that really piqued my appreciation at it. Marcelo Alvarez sings beautifully along with his superb acting. Christina Gallardo-Domas also does too, but seems to little passionate. Anyway, the title goes to Zeffirelli who created this long-standing marvellous production for the house in ...             Puccini: La Boheme [Blu-ray] Teodor Ilinca, Hibla Gerzmava Bbc / Opus, 2010 John Copley's enduring production of one of the most famously melodious and popular of all operas is a classic of the Royal Opera repertory. With historically accurate designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman and an excellent cast headed by Hibla Gerzmava and Teodor Ilincai, this 2009 revival, in which conductor Andris Nelsons makes a distinguished Royal Opera House debut, does full justice to Puccini's masterpiece.

The stage is amazing!! and Rolando Villazón is singing better than ever!! it was on 2002 so Rolando at that time was coverin mor his sound! so the result was very good, in my personal opinion better than the recent time!!

I'm relatively new to opera, but still an ardent Carreras-fan who thinks his singing is heavenly and I think he makes a more than convincing Rodolfo here. And his looks at the time is certainly no drawback for him. His acting skills are in my opinion very good; his facial expressions projecting his feelings perfectly. (I prefer a subtle actor instead of someone overacting to compensate for poor ...             La Boheme1 review Lillian Gish, John Gilbert MGM, 2010 Lilian Gish doesn't sing, but she sure could act Puccini, along with his librettists (Illica and Giacosa), brought a bourgeois sentimentality to Henri Murger's 1851 earthy novel ("Scenes de la Vie Boheme"), but oh what a whitewash.
