 Opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini. 160 min (with two intermissions). Music Directors and Conductors: Fabio Mastrangelo, Andrey Lebedev. Conductor: Alexandru Samoil. Stage Director: Georgy Isaakyan. The appealing legend about the talented and noble inhabitants of the Latin Quarter of Paris inspired Henri Murger’s Scnes de la vie de boheme and made its author famous throughout Europe. Puccini’s opera is based on Murger’s novel whose characters have once and for all chosen art, creation and love… La boheme is a popular opera, a staple of the repertoire of opera houses all over the world. It is an example of verismo, which brings forward psychological feelings of the characters and scenes of everyday life. The lyrical and sentimental music of the opera often acquires a dramatic shade. The premiere performance of the opera took place on February 1, 1896 at the Teatro Regio in Turin, conducted by Arturo Toscanini. La boheme at the Novaya Opera was conducted by Italian-born maestro Fabio Mastrangelo, a connoisseur of Italian style. Georgy Isaakyan, the Intendant of the Natalia Sats Moscow State Opera and Ballet Theatre for Young Audience, will present his interpretation of this production.
