Well I’m an opera convert!
I honestly didn’t think it would be my thing but went along with an open mind,
being my first visit to an opera and enjoyed every moment start to finish.
La Bohème tells the tragic
love story of bohemians Rodolfo, Mimi and their friends living in the Latin
Quarter of Paris in the 1840’s. It’s Christmas Eve and Rodolfo meets Mimi
unexpectedly when she needs help with her candle. It’s love at first sight and
each act takes us through their journey, all the while Mimi’s sickness
progresses.
The opera is in four acts,
composed by Giacomo Puccini and based on Scènes de la Vie de Bohème by Henry
Murger. I cannot compare to other Operas or other versions of La Bohème,
however the performance from last night’s Welsh National Opera was outstanding.
The stage sets, lighting and costumes really transported the audience to
Bohemian Paris and had a touch of modern technology projecting a backdrop of
the smoky Parisian skyline and falling snow. Awesome work by the orchestra too
and the music was captivating.
Matteo Lippi, Tenore and
Jessica Muirhead, Soprano performed the leads. The full cast was fantastic but
the singing from the leads really gave us goosebumps!
Can’t wait to see WNO’s
Madam Butterfly on Friday evening now – if there are tickets left, you’ll want
to grab some quick for an alternative Friday or Saturday night of culture and
charm.

I have had a daughter with fibromyalgia for 21 years now , and my doctor have prescribe me with different kinds of western drugs without no improvement on my daughter symptoms . I am so glad I have found Dr Williams medicine (as I was surfing the net for a solution and saw a recommendation for it on a women's health forum early this year).
