En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Franco Zeffirelli

With a standout cast, fine orchestral playing under Carlo Rizzi, and newly refurbished sets, Zeffirelli’s 1987 staging of Puccini’s epic fairy tale appears as bright as ever.

Marina Rebeka and Freddie de Tommaso are the protagonists in the 200th performance of the historical production of La bohème by Franco Zeffirelli, on the 100th anniversary of his birth, under the baton of Eun Sun Kim, who debuts at La Scala.

Eleonora Buratto und Vittorio Grigolo lassen in Puccinis Schmachtfetzen verloren geglaubte Opernglanzzeiten wieder auferstehen; ein bisschen mehr Pathos hätte dem Orchester aber nicht geschadet.
