Title: What a disgrace!
Review: Being a Opera fanatic, tenor fanatic, Puccini fanatic, Verdi fanatic, etc. etc. , I find this production dreadful. Why DID the Met chose THIS??Jose Carreras is not as good as he is now. His voice is scratchy, and rather squeaky during the start.Nessun Dorma and Che Geldida Mania are my favorite Puccini arias. Jose Carreras gave the worst performance of that aria I have ever heard in my whole life. Let's just say, he is so mis - cast as Rodolfo.The noise in the backround is beyond what can be accepted. There is coughing, wheezing, etc. Not my type.If you are a La Boheme fan and a Carreras fan, keep looking for another. Mostly, a La Boheme casting Pavarotti or Placido is not a bad idea to own.So here I am shot down once again! Sorry.
