Puccini - La Boheme / Baz Luhrmann, The Australian Opera (1993)

Product Description

Baz Luhrmann, the director of "Moulin Rouge," and his Academy Award-winning creative team including designers Catherine Martin and Bill Marron, bring you this compelling and artful reworking of the legendary Puccini opera. Recorded live from the Sydney Opera House, this unabashedly romantic interpretation uses the post-war setting of 1950s Paris to capture the youthfulness and intensity of the story with raw sincerity. Cheryl Barker and David Hobson head an ensemble production as Mimi and Rodolfo, whose dramatic and ultimately tragic romance anchors an unforgettable musical journey. Conducted by Julian Smith.
