EXTRACT | LA BOHÈME 'Quando m'en vo'' Puccini - Komische Oper Berlin

Act II. Wherever she goes, Musetta (Vera-Lotte Böcker) is admired for her beauty - and she knows it. At Café Momus, she’s being admired by none other than Marcello (Günter Papendell), her occasional boyfriend. She teases him, enjoying the sexual tension between them, while he tries his best to ignore her. Mimì (Nadja Mchantaf) and Rodolfo (Gerard Schneider) enjoy the spectacle while the councillor Alcindoro (Christoph Späth) can do nothing to stop his date going off the rails.

Directed by Barrie Kosky and conducted by Jordan de Souza.

So lovely, so beautiful.
Love this Fabio de Mello.

Eine gut, d. h. verführerisch gesungenene Musette kann schnell neben Mimi zur zweiten Hauptfigur werden, einen größeren Eindruck beim Publikum hinterlassen. Vielleicht hat Puccini das geahnt und der Figur die Zügel angelegt. Ich jedenfalls habe mich auf Musette gefreut, als ich La Boheme das zweite Mal angesehen habe. (Beide Male Komische Oper Berlin, selbe Inszenierung in den 90ern.)

I saw Mr Kosky's "La Boheme" in the Los Angeles Opera production. Frankly, this scene was terribly blocked from where I sat in the Loge with Musetta virtually hidden by all the actors and all the business going on around her in the overly cramped, overly-populated Cafe Momus, with the inadequate spotlight making the singer virtually indiscernible, and forget about figuring out who among the other cast members were contributing their lines and movements in the proceedings. Undoubtedly the worst Cafe Momus scene I've ever seen, and I must have witnessed a couple dozen. Pure anarchy. And I have so admired other Barrie Kosky productions.
