Boston Lyric Opera’s excellent and unorthodox staging of “La Bohème” is sure to please even the most staunch opera purists.“Īcclaimed tenor Jesus Garcia specializes in romantic roles of the French and Italian repertoires. “ From a musical standpoint, BLOs rendition was top-notch… It is always a pleasure to hear Puccini’s sublimely lyrical score.“ “Whether you’re a veteran opera-goer or just opera-curious, this is the show to see… stands alone as thrilling entertainment!” We also leave the performance with the memory of hope and promise, rather than the story’s sad conclusion.” “The story becomes one of swift, fleeting youth, the bareness of the characters’ physical lives contrasted with the richness of their dreams. “a production of decisive moments…makes Puccini’s tragedy more about the why than the what of it all.” “The cast made a stellar showing…It was impossible not to fall in love with Mimì - a truly luminous Lauren Michelle.” “An engrossing perspective shift! Boston Lyric Opera…cast(s) new light on an old warhorse.” Hear what people are saying about this new production –
