Puccini's masterpiece La Boheme is justifiably one of the world's most enduringly popular operas with memorable tunes telling stories of love and romance in the Parisian art world. This is the sweet but tragic tale of the pretty flower girl Mimi with her beloved poet Rodolfo and also of the whimsical and charming Musetta with the painter Marcello.
Villa in Canto have been performing at Normansfield Theatre for the past few years.
Well-¬known operatic masterpieces have been elegantly reworked into touching slices of the original, performed by successful, professional singers in carefully selected dramatic costumes and accompanied by a pianoforte. The expert musical direction is the work of Riccardo Serenelli who manages to maintain all of the integrity and grandeur of the original plots. He fills the operas with emotional energy and captures the audience for the entire performance of an hour and a quarter.
