"This Bohème is a glorious vindication of traditional staging at its imaginative, re-creative best.
Giancarlo Del Monaco here turns his attention to the much more popular work and comes up with a humdinger of a production, beautifully set by Michael Scott in period, fast-moving and full of pertinent detail." (Gramophone)
"In this production by Giancarlo del Monaco the aim is a cinematographic representation. The sets, by Michael Scott with lighting by Wofgang von Zoubek, bring that ideal to stunning realisation. Although set in a period sixty or so years later than Murger’s original novel (Scènes de la Vie de Bohème), the 1890s scenes are fully realistic and the imaginative lighting enables quick and subtle changes of location as well as focusing, when appropriate, on the more intimate scenes."
