5.0 out of 5 stars
Alfie Boe's gives an outstanding performance!,
By
This review is from: Puccini: La Boheme / Jonathan Miller, English National Opera (DVD)
In the product description it says "Alfie Boe's slightly earnest, boyish charm was through and through honest, from start to tragic finish.....the intensity and truthfulness he communicates is irresistible." This is so true. His portrayal of Rodolfo is brilliant. I don't want to give away the ending, but his final scenes are so real, so believable, and the intense emotion he is feeling pulls at your heart strings. I have never really been an opera fan before, but Alfie Boe has broadened my horizons. La Boheme is a very famous opera, and this version is special because it has Alfie Boe in it. I usually sing his praises because of his beautiful voice and his charm & wonderful personality. His performance in this play, along with his amazing performance as Jean Valjean in the Les Miserables 25th Anniversary Concert DVD, show that he is also a gifted actor. If you're an Alfie Boe fan, you HAVE to buy this DVD!

Not the best . . . but pretty darn good.,

This review is from: Puccini: La Boheme [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This English National Opera Prodection of Boheme is not the best I've ever seen, but it's certainly not the worst. I purchased it mainly out of curiosity to see what Alfie Boe could do with traditional opera, and the answer is . . . "quite a bit." I still find English translations somewhat off-putting--but I can see the purpose. If making it accessible to more music lovers grows the opera audience, it can only be good. Having grown up with an Italian Boheme,I did occasionally wish for the liquid vowels. That said, I found the technical production to be very good and Mr. Boe is indeed a force to reckon with. His connection to his audience is nothing short of stunning. Would I buy the disc again? Absolutely! But the Met and Stratas/Carreras are still the benchmark production for me.
