La Boheme: Opera Australia Melbourne
演出简介
120 years after Puccini wrote his smash‐hit La Bohème, this story of first love still tops the list of favourite operas around the world. Gale Edwards' glittering production, set in the bohemian streets of 1930s Berlin, returns to Melbourne with international stars Lianna Haroutounian and Gianluca Terranova, conducted by Andrea Molino.
A poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher are having a night on the town. It's Christmas Eve and the poet has just felt the first pangs of great love. When a seamstress knocks on his door searching for candlelight, the pair fall in love faster than she can sing, "Yes, they call me Mimì…"
Perhaps the tale of four friends living for their art reminds us of a person we weren't brave enough to become. Perhaps Puccini's talent for capturing emotion in music takes us back to the first time we felt love stir in our hearts. Perhaps it's just that La Bohème is a story we understand. It's about friendship and falling in love. It's about sacrifice and never giving up, even if it means parting with your lover — or your favourite coat. By the time the curtain falls, you'll know the answer to an eternal question: is love enough?
