Medici.tv is running the Puccini La Boheme from Paris that is set in outer space. I wrote briefly about this, but other people said they loved it, so I'm giving it a second chance.
We begin in a space station with the astronauts wearing space suits without the helmets. This is fun, but no matter what you normally do, if you do not read French, you must put on the subtitles, because there is added text which explains what you are seeing. Dudamel is magnificent.
They are caught in a catastrophe and remember their loves from before they were astronauts. I guess. The singing is lovely, especially Mimi. This is clearly Rodolfo's fantasy, and it is unbearably sentimental. And beautiful. Give yourself over to this fantasy. Everyone dies.
