Orpha Phelan's critically-acclaimed production of La Bohème will be broadcast on OperaVision this Friday 25th October 2024 at 7pm (CET). The production premiered at Irish National Opera in November 2023 and was co-produced by Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier Occitanie.
Stylized staging, elegant and graceful direction, in a modern and invigorating interpretation, “La Bohème” delights Montpellier! Twelve years since Puccini's masterpiece was performed here…the three performances of La Bohème were taken by storm. It is the direction of Orpha Phelan, indistinguishable from the sets and costumes of Nicky Shaw, which immediately catches the eye... and which hits the spot. She chose to move the action to the Paris of the interwar period, an era whose modernity has not aged a bit in a century. The concept is a perfect springboard to unleash our imagination, our emotions... and above all the expression of an impeccable cast. More than their youth and their diversity, it is their commitment, their homogeneity and their talent in acting as in singing which amaze, throughout the four acts of the opera.
Le Maine Libre, Jérémy Bernède
