FOLLOWING its hugely successful screenings of Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, The Regal in Tenbury Wells will be showing its first broadcast opera, a delayed broadcast of La Boheme from the Royal National Opera House on January 15 at 7.15pm.
Teeming with period detail, John Copley’s definitive production of this much-loved opera is traditional opera at its best.
From a shabby garret to the bustling Café Momus to a snowy courtyard at dawn, this minutely observed panorama of 1830s Parisian life, beautifully designed by Julia Trevelyan Oman, conjures emotions and atmosphere ranging from joy to tragedy, in large-scale crowd scenes and intimate tableaux.
In his depiction of the tender and ultimately tragic love between Mimì (Maija Kovalevska) and Rodolfo (Rolando Villazón), Puccini achieved a warmth and humanity that has rarely been equalled.
