La Bohème

‘My principal motivation in filming the opera “La Bohème” is to set a memorial to the singers Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazón,’ says director Robert Dornhelm, adding: ‘I think that this film, this music, this story will beguile not just opera lovers.’ The pairing of one of the most beloved operas of all time with the world’s current ‘dream team’ of singers is a recipe for success. Produced by Unitel and Vienna’s MR Film with a budget of five million euros, the theatrical film is helmed by Hollywood director Robert Dornhelm, Oscar nominee for ‘The Children of Theater Street’ and most recently director of the sensational four-part TV adaptation of Tolstoy’s ‘War and Peace.’
