But the world of the Bohemians, romantically playing at being poor, forgets the truth of real poverty and its consequences. Charismatic Ji-Min Park gives a stunning performance as Rodolfo, the poet who falls in love with Mimi, played by Takesha Meshe Kizart, who delivers a dazzling version of the impoverished working girl. In the Cafe Momus Taryn Fiebig sings seductively as the beautiful Musetta. Renowned conductor Shao-Chia Lu draws from the orchestra and chorus a magnificent performance of Puccini's lush score.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Featuring:\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Ji-Min Park (Rodolfo), José Carbó (Marcello), David Parkin (Colline), Shane Lowrencev (Schaunard), Takesha Meshé Kizart (Mimi), Taryn Fiebig (Musetta), John Bolton Wood (Benoit), Adrian Tamburini (Alcindoro), Benjamin Rasheed (Parpignol), Malcolm Ede (Customs Sergeant), Clifford Plumpton (Customs Officer)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Opera Australia Chorus, Michael Black (Chorus Master), Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, Huy-Nguyen Bui (Associate Concertmaster), Shao-Chia Lü (Conductor), Gale Edwards (Director)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Format: LPCM Stereo, DTS 5.1\u003cbr\u003e  Subtitles: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Korean\u003cbr\u003e  Aspect Ratio: 16:9\u003cbr\u003e  Number of DVDs: 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Opera Australia","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":49606947078424,"sku":"5060266600265","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/1948569.jpg?v=1777685045","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/puccini-la-boheme-9","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
