Opera
Highlights
This is a type of
recording rather than a type of music but I present it here as a way to
get introduced to opera without listening to the entire opera which
like most films, does contain some slow moments. This CD is of
the ill fated, but quite good Luhrmann production of La
Boheme. It looked like a wonderful adaptation of the
original and yet there was enough non interest that it closed after a
few months. I should have flown to NYC to see it. I think
it would have been worth it. The singing is quite good and I
highly recommend it. They never produced a CD of the entire opera
which is a shame. I must admit that La Boheme is among my
favorite works. Rather than go through the entire story i will
summarize it into boy meets girl, they fall in love, and then she dies
of tuberculosis. It is all a rather sad story but the music is
great.
