Images of Hong Kong and La Boheme

Today

I've just come back from a live screening of Puccini's La Boheme from The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. The first new production for 43 years. The sets were marvellous - snowy Paris in the 1890s....a group of  young bohemian artists starving in a garret....unrequited love....passion....jealousy... high drama....famous arias " your tiny hand is frozen"....dying from consumption....tragic loss and regret.....and the music swirling all around them like the snowflakes...beautiful....heartbreaking.
