I feel about 80% certain that Xerxes’ magic fingers in the Herheim production (capable of giving Amastre a seismically good hand job from 2m away) are a parody of the statue-toppling gag from the venerable Hytner production. And I approve.

Puccini - La bohème

For many people “La bohème” has been the gateway into opera. So it was with master-director Stefan Herheim. He used the much-loved traditional production of his native Oslo as a ‘magical’ foundation for his version which breathes fresh life into Puccini’s immortal masterpiece.

Livestream tonight at 7 pm CET! Stefan Herheim’s production with Marita Solberg, Diego Torre, Jennifer Rowley, Vasilij Ladjuk, conducted by Eivind Gullberg Jensen.
