Kelli O’Hara introduces Ben Bliss, Christopher Maltman, and Adam Plachetka as they rehearse “Una bella serenata” from Act I, captured during the February 24, 2018, Live in HD transmission of La Bohème.
Superb! I have always enjoyed the music, but all the productions I have seen until this one were static and thus somewhat boring, regardless of the musical talent exhibited. This one was animated from the outset and humorous to boot, which I believe was the composer’s and librettist’s original intent. Given the excellent cast and orchestra, a very memorable and finally fully enjoyed Cosi.
That Coney Island “ fantasy” overextended its welcome so fast. O’Hara is a super star but not for the Met. Her voice is great for Broadway but terribly underpowered for opera.
Did she say „yikes“? If so then I absolutely love her
So great moment !!!!!
Maltman could read me the phone book. 😳❤
I can’t believe that Kelley O’Hara did it in the first production of the Coney Island version of coat see fine todayYeah it

I hope this production is not as tacky as I fear it will be.
It’s a lot of fun! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

hmmmmm
Even in rehearsal Ben sounds fantastic. Coney Island as a romantic dreamworld? EWWW. I detest these "concept" productions.
meche kroop Okay,
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM with modern concept settings?
Andre Lavandero he is talking while you are barking?
all productions have a concept, dearie, or they're merely concerts
Reminiscent of the dreadful Mozart productions by Peter Sellars back when.
incorrect
Is this really the Met? The cast seems so astonishingly mediocre...
are you a deaf imbecile or merely a deaf moron? Can't quite tell.
@@Marcel_Audubon Wow, what a clever and most eloquent reply!
@@Bumblebeebeebee deaf imbecile it is! thanks for clearing that up.
