Venue: Teatro Municipale Giuseppe Verdi, Salerno

Visually this production fully rendered the opera's atmosphere. The director was good at encompassing the private stories and emotions of the three main characters into a broader context, dominated by Fate.

A traditional, reassuring production of Bizet's popular opera, without any odd staging ideas. 

This unadorned staging of the doomed love story between Rodolfo and Mimì in Salerno doesn’t neglect the veracity and passion of Puccini’s beautiful music.
