Stunning
Last night, we watched the 1995 Australian Opera interpretation of Puccini's La Boheme (with Baz Luhrman directing). Set in Latin Quarter Paris of the Fifties, this production had, no doubt in part due to its youthful cast, exactly the kind of feel I think Puccini was going for. David Hobson (Rodolfo) and Cheryl Barker (Mimi) are superb, and I don't think there was a true weak point among the remaining cast. A truly enjoyable experience, I highly recommend it.
