La Bohème Encores Sunday – Palace Cineplex
March 3, 2018 by
Sonya Yoncheva as Mimì and Michael Fabiano as Rodolfo in Puccini’sLa Bohème.
The world’s most popular opera returns in Franco Zeffirelli’s classic production of Puccini’s La Bohème, set to encore this Sunday March 4, 11:30 am at Palace Cineplex.
La Bohème is a classic story full of young love and the triumph of unconditional love over circumstances. On its face, it is the definitive depiction of the joys and sorrows of love and loss, on closer inspection, it reveals the deep emotional significance hidden in the trivial things that make up our everyday lives. Franco Zefferelli’s classic production starred Sonya Yoncheva and Michael Fabiano as the young lovers Mimi and Rodolfo, with Susanna Phillips as Musetta and Lucas Meachem as Marcello.
Lyrical and touchingly beautiful, the score of La Bohème exerts a uniquely immediate emotional pull. Many of its most memorable melodies are built incrementally to depict love and the struggles of everyday life.
Composer, Giacomo Puccini was immensely popular in his own lifetime due to his remorseless perfectionist style of composing. His mature works such as; Tosca and Madama Butterfly, remain staples in the repertory of most of the world’s opera companies. Being one of the world’s favourite opera, it takes a talented producer to add freshness to the production without removing the subtle nuances of Puccini’s original piece.
Ryan Speedo Green as Oroe in Rossini’s “Semiramide” playing March 10.
The titan behind the current production of La Bohème, is Academy Award® nominated director and producer; Franco Zeffirelli. He known for productions such as; Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Brother Sun, Sister Moon and the Taming of the Shrew.
