Description: PUCCINI La Boheme. Teresa Stratas, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus / James Levine


Synopsis: Zeffirelli´s legendary 1981 Met staging with an allstar cast led by Teresa Stratas and José Carreras under the baton of Maestro James Levine “With her fragile frame, cameo face and exquisitely modulated soprano, Stratas makes an ideal Mimi.” (The New York Times) “One of the grandest, most richly textured productions of an opera to be seen anywhere”, wrote Christian Science Monitor, while New York Magazine lauded “Theresa Stratas´ potency as a dramatic presence and the sensitively refined artistry of her vocal performance…a true musician as well as an astute operatic actress.” The DVD includes two features: "Zeffirelli on La Bohème" and "Puccini in America" (documentary)
