Darn it!! Why does Mirella Freni ALWAYS make a brut studly MAN like myself cry like a little baby. She does it to me EVERYTIME in Madame Butterfly!! What a beautiful woman! And Pavarotti is probably showing the angels how to sing!!

Grandissimo Luciano Pavarotti...

@Poet2916 Yeah, you're right, I shouldn't judge RENT as an opera. I guess I just can't get over the fact that they chose to let Mimi live at the end. It just completely changes the whole feel of the show. But then again, I've always loved tragedies. :)

Cheers

quelqu'un d'autre que Puccini sait-il faire mourir son héroïne ???

MIMI! MIMI! ;(

@antaresvariant La Boheme is brilliant you are correct...but La Boheme is also an OPERA and RENT is a stage musical...two different norms..I personally think they did a good job modernizing La Boheme...both shows have a special place in my heart

Dammit every time he does it tears roll down.....inexplicable....lost of words.... El Maestro and Her such a combo.....God how great you are...La Boce.....ahhh... thank you.....

The way this opera ends is a masterpiece within itself. I love how the woodwinds sit on the dissonance at 0:03, as if hinting at Mimi's upcoming death, and the dead silence throughout the only dialogue of the show, followed by those magnificent harmonies of the horns and Marcello's heart-breaking "coraggio!" It's absolutely brilliant. Yet, people still get upset when I tell them that RENT is an abominable adaptation of this show.

Puccini's music always makes the hairs on my neck stand up. This rendition is absolutely fantastic. The voice of an angel indeed. I will never tire of this performance. It is simply superb. I visit this page regularly.
