Recently went to see Puccini’s opera in London’s Covent Garden.

| Olga Kulchynska as Mimi, Stefan Pop as Rodolfo. |
It was part of Richard Jones’s successful production.
I loved the performance and enjoyed the chemistry. Actors and actresses were excellent. Olga Kulchynska as Mimi, Stefan Pop as Rodolfo, Mikhail Timoshenko as Marcello and Simona Mihai as Musetta.
For me, Act 1 had its most beautiful introductory arias of Rodolfo and Mimi and their love duet.
For days afterwards, I’ve been listening to “Che gelida manina” & “O soave fanciulla” online.
The passion and beauty goes straight to the heart.
What a blast.

DeleteGlad you enjoyed the Opera. Sometimes certain songs get in our heads and we have to listen to them till we become tired of them, some take a long time for that to happen. The photos are lovely and good to see inside from your point of view.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of you too..
Thanks Margaret. Yes, I thought of showing people around from inside! 👍
DeleteLondon’s Covent Garden looks perfect, but will La bohème be travelling to other cities and countries?
ReplyDeleteNot sure. It's a christmas staple for ROH.
DeleteBut I expect other cities in England get a chance through the ENO.
Thanks for commenitng hels.
I see you are photographed next to the Maria poster. I went to see it yesterday. I would rate it at 3 stars. I am glad you enjoyed your night at the opera.
