Anna Netrebko - Mimi
Piotr Beczala - Rudolfo
Massimo Cavaletti - Marcello
Nino Machaidze - Musetta
The THOUSANDS filling up the streets to watch it on the screening outside the Dom. Aka those who couldn't afford tickets. Who knew opera could bring such a crowd...
Oh Anna. I really thought there was no possible way to make you look ugly. But then the director put you in the most hideous wig I have ever seen.
But despite the director's evident temporary meltdown, it was an absolutely stunning performance. Puccini is such an opera God.
I was actually feeling slightly down prior to this performance. My thoughts can be rather dangerous - the whole "oh my god, what am I doing with my life? I can't be a professional singer" toxic path started making its way back into my psyche but after this performance, I switched back to my "new positive" self.
To be continued... :)
