The final installment of the San Francisco Opera Cinema Series brings Puccini's story of love and loss in 19th-century Paris to the Egyptian's big screen. Set in a bohemian apartment in Paris's Latin Quarter, the poet Rodolfo and the painter Marcello are drawn into a tangle of love and jealousy after the frail Mimi, seeking help, knocks on their door on Christmas Eve.

Felt as if we were in front row seats. Wonderful. Saw La Boheme here in LA when it was here and enjoyed this just as much.

great place to see this. angela g is a singer to be enjoyed on recordings, not on the screen. her mimi was a hybrid of carmen and norma desmond. the opera was obviously directed by a high school kid with no respect for what is utterly fundamental to the opera.the real show was all the seniors talking and making noise incessantly. but, for the price, it was a nice way to spend a sunday afternoon.

Description

Maestro Nicola Luisotti, San Francisco Opera's music director and a master of the Italian repertoire, conducts Giacomo Puccini's most beloved opera. This heartwarming story of starving artists falling in and out of love in 19th-century Paris is a seamless mix of romantic passion, poignant tragedy and high-spirited fun. The outstanding cast is headed by superstar Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu as the ill-fated Mimì. In behind-the-scenes clips, Luisotti talks about working in San Francisco and his vision as a conductor. Recorded in the fall of 2008 at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. Sung in Italian with English subtitles. Running time: 123 min. One 15-minute intermission.
