A lost key, an extinguished candle and an accidental touch in the dark – ‘Che gelida manina…’. So begins one of the great, tragic romances of all opera as the cold hands of the fragile seamstress Mimì warm the heart of the poet Rodolfo in lyrical seduction. Puccini’s gloriously tuneful work follows their story through a year from that first meeting through jealous separation to a poignant death-bed reconciliation. Around them the spirit of bohemian life is brought to life through the fiery temper of Musetta and her lover, the painter Marcello, and a myriad of other colourful characters from the streets of 1830s Paris. John Copley’s popular production is revived with all the authentic period detail of the designs by the late Julia Trevelyan Oman. With Cristina Gallardo-Domas again as Mimì, Roberto Aronica playing Rodolfo for The Royal Opera for the first time and Christian Badea conducting, and we have the potent combination of great music and intense passion in live performance.
Running time: 2 hours 45 minutes Sung in Italian with English surtitles CREDITS Composer Giacomo Puccini Director John Copley Associate Director Richard Gregson Designs Julia Trevelyan Oman Lighting William Bundy PERFORMERS Conductor Christian Badea Rodolfo Roberto Aronica Mimì Cristina Gallardo Domas Marcello Franco Vassallo Schaunard Roderick Williams Colline Matthew Rose Musetta Nicole Cabell Benoit Jeremy White Alcindoro Donald Maxwell Parpignol Alan Duffield Sergeant Bryan Secombe Customs Officer Jonathan Coad The present theatre was built in 1858. During World War II it was used as a dance hall but after the war the decision was made to establish the Royal Opera House as the permanent year-round home of the opera and ballet companies now known as the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet. The ballet company reopened the building on 20 February 1946 with The Sleeping Beauty. The two companies combined for Purcell's The Fairy Queen that December, and on 14 January 1947, Covent Garden Opera Company gave its first complete opera performance, Bizet's Carmen.
