La Bohème by Puccini is ever green. The enthusiasm of youth always burns in our hearts. No opera by Puccini or any other composer is so beautifully romantic from beginning to end. We were blessed with an Italian conductor who only occasionally let the orchestra play too loud.
I enjoyed Ellie Dehn and Erika Grimaldi, but my favorite was Arturo Chacón-Cruz as Rodolfo who has a gorgeous, bright sound. The acting was excellent across the board. This is an opera that works on every level.
