Saw a very well done rendition of La Boheme this trip. The restoration of this old opera house after its disastrous fire a few years ago has been nothing short of miraculous. Acoustics are great. More

The Opera house was entirely rebuilt after a disastrous fire several years ago; you wouldn't believe the perfection of the renovation;one might think this is the 18th century original. We attended a performance of "La Bohème" where the singers and orchestra were quite adequate but not sensational; it didn't matter ;what did was the beauty of the place,the magic of... More

what I didn't expect was how small the theater was (in a good way), and how energized the crowd would be. we had purchased the two seats in the back of a box, which we shared with a retired couple from Paris, who let us move our seats up to get closer, while entertaining us with stories about their early...

The most moving production of La Boheme I have ever been to. Seung-Gi Jung was an especially strong Marcello.
