Our professor at an Elderhostel course on Opera Verite at Deland University in Florida touted this performance as the best he has ever seen because the voices are so beautiful and the characters are young, vivacious and believable in their roles. He only showed us Acts 1 and 4 and the class applauded the DVD. I rented it and loved every minute.

This is the famous Baz Luhrmann production, which he later brought to Broadway, unsuccessfully. Expertly filmed during a live performance in Sydney in 1993, it remains the most affecting Boheme I've ever seen. It was ahead of it's time, and is right up there with The Met's current production and acting values, as can be seen in theaters now. The cast is good, the two leads are excellent, especially tenor David Hobson, who surely had the goods for international stardom, and maybe he still does, but it hasn't happened. And then, of course, there is that neon sign proclaiming "L'amour".
