Puccini - La Bohème (2024)

[tarejso]

I do not often comment, but after so many negative coments from people I have to. As an opera lover, as a tenor and Maestro Puccini fan. I can not belive that people can not see what a great cast Grigolo and Grigoryan are. Their chemistry is undeniable, the little gestures, the details to text, the expresions going back and forth in Che gelida...Si mi...O soave...is just amazing. Grigolo is a great actor, has huge charistma. He has a big, beautifull lyric tenor add that to perfect projection( heard him live recently twice) and great diction, and to add it also helps that he looks a part for the role to me he becomes THE RODOLFO. I doubt most would know, but he is 47!! Yes 47.  And for her at such young age with that great, dark toned full lyric soprano, great technique, great acting and to be a match to him on stage with 20 years of experience  is to me breathtaking. Well done!!! The rest of the cast, chorus, cameo roles are good too.  I think set and costumes are wonderfull. It is not an opera I would think first of when presenting a production in such a big space like Arena di Verona, but it works. Well done to the entire team!!! Bravi!!!!

Csodálatos előadás! Ráadásul tényleg bele lehet szeretni Mimibe az első látásra!

Thank you so much for posting for we opera-lovers! (I used to adore Grigolo when he sang at the Metropolitan several years ago; I don't know what happened, but he has many problems here)

Le produzioni Arena secondo me sono di ottima qualità rispetto a un passato neanche troppo remoto. A me è piaciuta. Buona notte a tutti e sempre w l' opera!

GRIGòLO & "Musetta", all the time throughout 💎. "Mimi" less genious, but very strong 4th act. Beautiful voice! Rich singing 💯 Amazing "Marcello"❕Nice production. Singers' actings super! Audience must have had a great time.

The Mimì (Grigoryan? I'm not sure) sounds amazing, sometimes reminds me Freni in her middle and upper middle and especially in her phrasing (she probably heard very closely and learned a lot from Freni's legendary Mimì). Grigolo sounds good in some parts, not so much in other, but I notice A LOT of problems of coordination between his singing and the orchestra. The orchestra also seems to be having problems to accompany other performers, though not as much as Grigolo. I'm not sure this is the default of the singer(s) or of the conductor, perhaps too little rehearsal time to bring everything together...

Grigolo is Grigolo. He's always been prone to overacting, and being very tactile (which got him into some trouble). But he has a lovely voice, and he's been one of my favorites in roles like Cavaradossi, Romeo, Faust, Hoffman, and of course Rodolfo. Of course, I've heard him mostly on radio broadcasts. But he is polarizing. Many opera singers have that effect on fans. Every voice is different, and the response is largely due to preference and taste.

why do haters not just put down a thumb without stupid comments? On the other hand grigolo can be proud because you never kick a dead dog.. and he is alive

Bellissima Bhoeme Grigolo sempre numero uno

[massimopasticci]

la Boheme e' di Puccini non di Grigolo

[Yves_Ka]

There was a ballet going on on the right most of the time 40:10 - adding a ballet into La Boheme? What on earth was the director thinking?

[oliviafaedo]

Dimostra tutta la fatica che faper emettere acuti...ripenso a Pavarotti😢

[joaquimlechat]

C'est plutot joli et bien chanté, mais jouer Bohème sur cette scène immense est une absurdité. Même en mettant 200 personnes au deuxième acte, cela reste une oeuvre intimiste.

[ubertarossi]

Quanti esperti ! Perché non godere di una sera magnifica e di voci bellissime

[tomlarge]

Such courteous applause throughout the entire performance - I would have thought these people were at a lecture series. I wonder if these people ever jumped to their feet for anything.

[innominato]

Grigolo è stomachevole nell’aria del primo atto; ma come ha fatto il pubblico ad applaudirlo? A dirgli: bravo! 😂😂😂 Ok, allora io sono Corelli 🤪🤪🤪

Ma sono e fischi di approvazione o di critica quelli che si sentono alla fine?
