La Bohème, The Film, starring Anna Netrebko as Mimi and Rolando Villazón as Rodolfo and directed by Robert Dornhelm, will premiere on Great Performances Series on PBS on 23. December 2009.
Senior Publicist Jitin Hingorani has been chatting with Anna Netrebko about her experience shooting the film, her recent pregnancy, and her ideas on how opera has changed over the years. This is the interview:
I watched the video twice last Friday night. My daugher said that she lokked like a beautiful movie actress like Natalie Wood. Her singing along with Villazon are particularly wrenching in this performance. That said, I am still not a fan of "filmed" operas, but this may be an exception.
Thank you very much for this interesting interview and these so beautiful pictures.

We will get the terrestrial preview in the UK two days later.
ReplyDeleteDespite having preferences for other performers in these roles, I think it will be esential Christmas viewing.
