Such fancy clothes for some broken young people...

[malalt38]

A great and wonderful couple on stage and in everyday life ! Brava !

[dunecar]

[DocWyrd]

Can't cry. Can't cry in front of roommate...must maintain what little dignity Les Miz has left me...

[cris88acquario]

Interessante interpretazione... bell'effetto drammatico... ma c'è qualcosa che non mi convince... uuuuuhm..

[clown84700]

Bravo Alagna !! Il teatro è perfetto !!

[simisimi9]

LOUSY ACTING....GO BACK TO STUDY !!!

[countrygirl8ful]

Roger/Mimi vs. Rodolfo/Mimi.

Qui est bien pour toi?

[davidandcleo]

My God! Fantastic!

[truvianni]

What can one say about Angela that has not already been said by so many yet I for my part would like to say that I included this scene in my book "New York's Opera Society". This scene having impacted me so much that I felt it had to be in my book about opera.

[KStrick92]

Alagna is not that great. I'm not saying I could do better but he is sharp ALL of the time. and Gheorgross has horrible vibrato.

[emanuele93c]

@KStrick92 Yes yuo're rigth: bad interpretation puccini very definitely did not want this.

[TheNicoletta62]

tutti bravissimi e in parte così si canta Puccini

[2010nanetta]

heartbreaking!!!!

[castoro83]

Mamma mia, meraviglioso TT!!!

[Rina120288]

i really don't have words.. i was in shock- it's amazing... BRAVO!!!!!

[papagena92]

wow, did alagna REALLY cry in the end????? if he did, it was so touching, and not for extra drama...

[coy0te9]

I must admit I'm always torn between tears and giggles when i see this scene. The giggles are for the little ritual coughs to remind us that this beautiful river of sound is coming from a woman dying of a respiratory disease

[histeringg]

que barbaro alagna se avienta una super interpretacion llore todo el final que voz¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[chislehurstbat]

Just wish they hadn't separated.  Sigh.

[PSIAUCH]

Alagna n'est pas brillantissime, trop appliqué d'ou un manque d'aisance et de sentiment.

[adelajdasing]

i can hear it every day and every night and it still makes me cry ... I´d like to sing like her ...

[adelajdasing]

oh, my God ... I love it ... perfect!

[Lovelytenor1]

RA gave a little too much emotion & not enough of a beautiful voice, which he has. Perhaps he was not in good voice that night.

[papagena92]

@Lovelytenor1

all that emotion was there because he was on stage with his wife, too!!

[theblacksister]

Beautiful... is this on DVD anywhere?

[harrypotterfangurl07]

I just find some portrayals of rodolfo to be so dry, and his just made me fall in love with him completely, and don't get me wrong, mimi's portrayal was amazing, I was just so taken aback by how much I was missing in some other portrayals. (hehe cough cough Villazon cough cough)

[harrypotterfangurl07]

omg he is SUCH a good Rodolfo. When he started crying I was balling. and when marcello was like "couragio!" that was the most convincing crying from a rodolfo I have ever heard. He sounded so pain ridden...I just loved every minute of this.

[ElisabettaVS]

I like this operatic couple definitely more than Netrebko and Villazon, those two are horrible. But Alagna and Gheorghiu are very nice together! :-)

[MargueriteGautier25]

lavoce e troppo di testa....v bne se è registrata m in teatro..

[TheOperacity]

@MargueriteGautier25 ma che cazzo dice??????

[emotion70]

Or perhaps God will bless us with more wonderful moments created by these great artists ,together on stage.

[emotion70]

No matter what will happen to them, divorced or together,I strongly believe that

the fact of not performing together anymore will be a BIG loss for the opera fans.

They were fantastic together !!! Two great great artists.

[ernestalba]

Not to ruin the mood, but she wipes her mouth at about 00:37 - obviously for performative reasons, but still funny.

[elephantbarbiegirl]

She does it well though-what a pro!

[maximegagne1]

bon... il est un peu trop émotif. Ça brise le dramatique à mon avis. Gheroghiu est magnifique dans le rôle Mimi mais je ne suis pas sur de Alagna comme Rodolfo... je suis sans doute trop vendu au style de Carreras.

[carlogic1953]

alagna is truly heart rending, perhaps he thinks of the death of his first wife and the mother of his daughter. apart from this sounds over toned at 9:32 and on when he hollers 'mimì' 'mimì', but I think he's doing it on purpose, to add extra drama or maybe because he's overwhelmed by his emotions. wonderful, at any rate...

[sincerity112]

bravissimi...incredibile...

[skycastles79]

This is such an outstanding performance. They are such true artists. I absolutely adore their work. God bless them.

[potassiumchlorate]

I cry every time.

[marctenor]

I really love Gheorghiu.

[triolka]

il piu bellisimo memento dell'opera! Puccini sie grande Maestro!

[prommlbear]

amazing, the best i've ever seen..

[hayyu2008]

Absolutely divine - I cried so much watching this.

[penhsin]

aiii

[evilsushix]

Oh my God, I couldn't even imagine trying to do this scene with a loved one. I would get far too involved, it would be too painful. This must be so difficult, especially for Alagna, who lost his wife several years ago... But, man, does it pay off for a beautifully heartbreaking scene!

[avmaceren]

This is so far the most dramatic,most emotional and most touching La Boheme-Final Act I've ever watched.Almost moved me to tears.

[yssa1968]

BRAVO ROMANIA ANGELA BEST!

[karlgomes]

beautiful, just had a tear...

[banuskica]

this is amazing...

[mansouri2]

grand opéra, trés grands chanteurs, une scene culte , un final qui transporte au dela de l'emotion tout simplement magnifique

[ABlackNote]

Alagna è Rodolfo, senza ombra di dubbio .... Bellissima interpretazione

[corellithebest]

They both are GREAT! Their performance is so MOVING. In this scene particularly you can see their mutual love and tenderness as a husband and wife. So they make a glorious couple on stage as well, apart from being great actors!

[emotion70]

Superb!Touching.Angela and Roberto are great artists.

[operafreak07]

BRAVISSIMA! ils sont manifique! e ne sais pas qui peut ne cri pas quend il chante "MIMI!"

[babajaga39]

poor alagna, he really knows the feeling how to lose someone he loves as she is dying in his arms... the same happened with him in reality, that is why his crying is not exaggerated, I think he cries over the lost one right now...

[jcpavarotti]

wow, that is impossible to belife, they are a great opera singers, the passion of the scene is amazing.

eso es imposible de creer, ellos son unos grandes cantantes de opera, la pasion de la escena es sorprendente.

[XxTuPaPyxX]

q interpretacion, y q sentimiento, bravo!

[iosefini]

Amazing!

Is this performance available on DVD ?

[starlingbird]

Not yet, unfortunately. For those who might not know, GHEORGHIU & ALAGNA are real life husband and wife. Wonderful duo! Grand performances together.

[tortugaboba]

Brava

[mykednlvy]

ignorant question here...I've only seen this once but it was quite memorable...specifically does the theme at 3:41 appear elsewhere? This is something I've been unable to get out of my head since seeing this in Vienna years ago.

[starlingbird]

I have seen La Boheme several times and this aria, in it's entirety, is the final duet between Mimi and Rodolfo. You may have heard some artists performing a portion of it elsewhere, but it is definitely the glorious music of La Boheme. Go to FATHOM EVENTS at a local theater to see the Met LIVE from New York on screen. The new season starts in September. Absolutely wonderful!

[mykednlvy]

Perhaps I could have worded my question better. I know this is clearly Puccini, my question was more directed toward where the melody at 3:41 appears in the rest of the opera. I think it may be tied to when Rudolfo gives Mimi the bonnet but I could be wrong. Does anyone know where else in Boheme this melody appears?

[bassje01]

It appears in the aria "Si.Mi chiamano Mimi," in the first act when she sings the words -Sola mi fo il pranzo da me stessa....and -lá in una bianca cameretta...

[bassje01]

Somehow my first reaction dissappeard..but the very first time the melody appears is when Mimi is telling she lost her key.

[avola50]

ANGELA è meravigliosa, fa venire le lacrime  agli occhi!

[ABlackNote]

altro che lacrime agli occhi io diluvio di pianti ogni volta che vedo questo video

[miabuchignani]

I've cried all my tears. (great, now I look like a racoon)

What true beauty between Gheorghiu and Alagna. Truly my favorite version of this scene...and believe me, I've seen many versions!

[alvarogm86]

bueatiful, touching

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Inferior indeed. Last time I checked as you were listing translating the bible and being 14th in whatever as major accomplishment. Bending backwards for every major nation that passed by is not considered major accomplishment nor superiority. You're in denial which is to be expected from someone inferior.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

You're the abode of self denial. I highly doubt that you have any knowledge or background in opera. One fact seems to be obvious though. Your inferiority complex coming from an inferior nation, i.e. Georgia, makes you sound like a mentally ill person. Keep knocking yourself out.

[sandrik100]

Hahahaha Georgians are inferior nation I have never heard enything more stupid in my life, But how can I expect wise words from idiot!

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

You sound as if you have read the list in a book. Last time I checked there was not Top 10 in Rolling Stones Magazine (I doubt you can even afford a magazine) of "who is the best tenor". That's what happens when someone's opera background is based on YouTube.

[sandrik100]

Stop talking and don't answer me if you have nothing to tell, your comments are only black signs on white space and nothing more!

Once I adviced you to comment on rap and hip hop, so it is a time when you have follow my suggestion. Opera for you is a Chinese language, which you do't understand.:-)

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Thanks for putting up a list, which irrevocably shows that you're clueless when it comes to opera. First and foremost, there cannot be a list. Second, I never suggested a list. Knock yourself out you little fiddlestick. LoL

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Grate singers? LoL funny (try using a dictionary). Ironically, what you watch on YouTube, I have seen live. You might choose to be just another statistic for the marketing industry but some of us refuse to take anything for granted. I used to like Alagna. But his choice of repertoire overstrained his voice. Go refute that if you can you clueless fiddlestick. Now go back to the Georgian rat hole from which you originated, and beg for food.

[sandrik100]

Hey bugbear! As I expected, you are absolute dilletant in opera! Yes my little bugbear these stars are GREAT SINGERS, there are no better spinto tenor as Alagna and lyric soprano as Gheorghiu nowadays. The modern three are: 1Cura 2Alagna 3Vargas as older was 1Pavarotti 2Domingo 3Carreras:) and not 1Pavarotti 2Kraus 3Aragall:( and sopranos may be 1Gheorghiu 2Fleming 3Netrebko!!!

[GermanOperaSinger]

I find your list quite funny.

A better title for your list would be 'Most overrated tenors and sopranos of all time'.

Excluding Pavarotti, of course.

[GermanOperaSinger]

But Pavarotti is definitely not No. 1.

Alagna was decent for a few years before his voice was destroyed thanks to himself. Gheorghiu and Netrebkos are just Callas wannabees who know they will never come to her standards.

Don't think that just because they are the '3 tenors' Luciano-Placido-Jose trio were the best tenors ever.

[tdeane34]

But Pav is definitely the no 1 Rodolfo.

[sandrik100]

This inquisitive4ever is a wretched provocator. I follow all his foolish comments and see, that he has no any other work, but to trash on Grate singers and he gets pleasure with it, he also likes to provocate others. He is simple bugger as he called me!

[corellithebest]

Amazingly moving indeed! Their performance made me cry!

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

They're certainly nowhere near the perfection of Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti. But still a agreeable performance by Gheorghiu and Alagna.

[sandrik100]

So go to your Pavas videos and shut up!

[mansouri2]

GRAND,GRAND,GRAND MOMENT

[kurtKong]

I like this performance, alas only the singing, not the acting! :P

And with all the Bóhèmes I have seen, I found it rather disturbing to sometimes see people break into thunderous applause, even before the last note has faded away - like in this oerformance.

[Nhlvrnfla]

at 7:00 i thought he was going to toss his cookies on her. Kinda distracting. :)

[NannerlSullAria]

Listen at 04:32; is it just me or she says 'era buio il mio GROSSOR non si vedeva'. That made me laugh - grossor rather than rossor - it's quite funny, i guess she wasn't concentrating well. I like it tho!

[sirmercutio99]

Wow Roberto sounds really distraught in the end if almost Angela had really died. I know there married in real life they are a excellent couple on stage.

[zacmacrackin]

Such a beautiful Opera. Just a simple story but so powerfull.

[oscarvaldivieso]

Estos esposos si que se las traen. Bravo

[ewoodham]

oh my gosh, at 9:25 I just started crying

it's so sad

[Franeskol]

Sencillamente Hermoso.

[gualtrapa66]

Ya tengo un video mas para llorar. No he podido secarme las lagrimas en 10 minutos no podia parar de llorar. Maravilloso.

Gracias Alice

Gualtrapa

[prchdaword]

everytime I see this I get the chills....beautiful!!!

[brindlemay]

Does anyone know if this version (with Alagna) is available on DVD or any other form? I would like to see the entire production with this cast.

[wanzenettl]

Actually, his intonation suffers throughout the entire scene. He's consistently sharp. It's not a mere "mistake".  It's a problem when a singer consistently pushes sharp.

[pianoboyo]

Best fingevo di dormire I have seen at least in the verissmo style. I actually believed he was sorry to see her die..some seem far more concerned about the inntonation of their last note?!? for some reason???

[auntsal123]

HOLENDAMICHAL so I guess you are the only person on the Planet never to have made a mistake ..............

[HolendaMichal]

rodolfo is out of tune in last two words of the opera... :(

[auntsal123]

Superb

[radostsguy]

"top notch!" :)

[matthewtilley1985]

Beautiful,

[mattmangus]

i would hope their connection is amazing, they're married

[hdmk5]

drama at its hihest level! Cant stop beeing moved to the core!!

[poodlearg]

alagna doing the crying is just top nodge (is that how it`s spelled??) Anyway, he rocks.

[Candiditty]

Beats the junk out of 'Rent'. SO beautiful.

[classikclems]

C'est vraiment magnifique.... Après que l'on aille critiquer Alagna et son épouse... Bravo !! :D Un pur moment d'émotion!

[jiujiu85]

It's beautiful, moving...I cried all my tears! They are perfect! thank you for sharing! Is there a dvd of this, somewhere?
