La bohème - O soave fanciulla (Nicole Car, Michael Fabiano; The Royal Opera)

Find out more: www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-ev....
Nicole Car and Michael Fabiano sing this memorable duet from Puccini's opera La bohème.
Acclaimed director Richard Jones (Boris Godunov, Il trittico) directs a new production of Puccini’s La bohème. Irresistible in its witty, passionate blend of comedy and tragedy, the opera focusses on the lives of a group of young artists as they eke out an existence on the bohemian fringes of Paris. Jones brings his characteristically acute insight to this much-loved classic, visualized in Stewart Laing’s spectacular, stylized designs.
Puccini’s romantic depiction of bohemian Paris, with wonderful music and a love story drawn from everyday life, has captivated audiences around the world, making La bohème one of the best-loved of all operas. It was first performed in Covent Garden in 1897 and has had more than five hundred performances here since.

    I was there last night when Rodolfo had a problem with his voice and the real-life husband of Ekaterina Siurina took over from the wings while Atalla Ayan acted and mouthed the words from on stage. It added a particular drama and every one of us the audience willed it to be a triumph - and it was! A magnificent performance with exceptional plaudits all around to the six (seven) voices for thier professionalism and dedication to their task. A wonderful performance! But I need to record my praise of the sets, lighting and set movement; Stewart Laing, Bob and Tamar Manoukiamn but also Sarah Fahie and Danielle Urbas. I thought the use of mobile set items was completely magical and enhaced the story perfectly. I particularly enjoyes thge movement of the hut in Act Three which seemed to reflect the pan shot in cinematography. Perfect, superb and brilliant. I congratulate you all.

    This was the new ROH production. The singing was brilliant but I preferred the earlier sets. I did not like Michael Fabiano's long hair. I have been since and seen this production a further two or three times with different singers - fortunately, Rudolfo did not have long hair!!

    on the high dramatic part her vibrato is so bad that although she's singing on tune you hear mainly a tone that is 2 and a half tones higher which clashes horribly. This is why people hate opera these days.

    No, no es extraordinario. La voz del tenor carece de brillo en los agudos. Evita también el "ultimo ut" que la soprano está sola para hacer. La referencia permanece en 1960 creo, en San Francisco, con Luciano Pavarotti y Mirella Freni.
