Description:

Yoncheva gives a great performance as Mimi! New Royal Opera Production of "La Bohème "La Bohème is one of the Royal Opera's most popular operas. John Copley's production, which, along with Zeffirelli's production of the past, is highly acclaimed as one of the most famous productions from Covent Garden, has been renewed in 2017 with a new production by Richard Jones. Compared to Copley's production, which boasted nearly half a century of history, the overall stage has been simplified, which allows the singers' performances and songs to shine through with a freshness. On the other hand, the lively Christmas night scene in Paris is more glamorous and enhances the sadness of the story that follows. In this recording, Yoncheva's performance as Mimi, in response to the supple and lively music by the internationally acclaimed French conductor Emmanuel Villaume, is a passionate performance with her natural lyrical singing ability, which keeps the audience engaged. Castronovo, who plays Rodolfo, and the supporting cast of Filonczyk and Mihai also add fresh performances and singing to this eternal drama of adolescence. Naxos Japan
