La Bohème

To mark the 125th anniversary of its premiere in Turin on February 1, 1896, the Teatro Regio celebrated Puccini’s most popular opera with an extraordinary staging in the historic costumes and sets designed by Adolf Hohenstein. The incredibly opulent, eternally valid staging of Paolo Gavazzeni and Piero Maranghi was exclusively presented for the recording. “The show appears to be alive, palpitating even in the unravelling of the direction, just enough to capture the most genuine atmosphere of the work with an abandon full of poetry.” (Connessi all’opera)
