Daily News | Opera Philadelphia brings a new perspective to ‘La bohème’
It is Christmas Eve in Paris’ Latin Quarter and Puccini sets spinning so many little dramas this scene goes by like a series of flash-vignettes. Mimì, Rodolfo, and their artist friends are carrying on, and Puccini scores the joyous humanity with an offstage band, an overexcited children’s chorus, a group of scolding mothers, and amused townsfolk.
La bohème is performed April 30 at 2 p.m., May 5 at 8 p.m., and May 7 at 2 p.m. at the Academy of Music, Broad and Locust Streets. In Italian with English supertitles, no intermission. Corrado Rovaris conducts the Opera Philadelphia Orchestra with a cast that includes Joshua Blue as Rodolfo, Kara Goodrich as Mimì, Troy Cook as Marcello, and Melissa Joseph as Musetta. Tickets are $25 to $299.
