Artiste: Franco Zeffirelli

Giacomo Sagripanti conducts a luxuriant reading with a cast anchored by Juan Diego Flórez and Nicole Car, in Zeffirelli’s familiar, generous, unabashedly emotional production. 

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.
