Review: RENT al TEATRO LO SPAZIO
by Ettore Farrattini - Dec 27, 2024

Con il musical Rent è molto difficile sbagliare tanta è l’emozione che riesce a suscitare ad ogni sua rappresentazione. Rent ha marcato un’epoca, opera quasi unica del compianto Jonathan Larson che perse la vita per un rottura d’aneurisma il giorno della prima generale del suo capolavoro che gli valse due Tony Awards postumi. Il suo universo, stroncato in modo così repentino ha comunque stabilito un punto di rottura tra il musical tradizionale e il musical del “dopo Rent”.

Review: SAN DIEGO OPERA PRESENTS LA BOHÈME at San Diego Civic Center
by Ron Bierman - Nov 6, 2024

What did our critic think of SAN DIEGO OPERA PRESENTS LA BOHÈME at San Diego Civic Center? San Diego Opera celebrated the opening of its 60th season with Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème, the same opera the company staged to open its first season. Its magnificent melodies, a touchingly tragic love story, and arias that are among the most beautiful ever written have made it one of the world’s most performed operas for many years, an obvious choice for attracting audiences and donors. The story begins in a bohemian Parisian garret where Rodolfo, a young writer, rooms with a painter, a musician and a philosopher. Money is scarce, and the only source of heat is a small stove. With no wood left to burn, Rodolfo begins to use pages from the manuscript of a play he’s writing for what few moments of heat they can provide. When the flames die down a roommate comments, “It opened and closed on the same night.”
