‘La Bohème’ is boisterous and full of energy, yet is not without its more emotional parts. It shows us an immaturity through our characters and the peppy music, there is a humour which plays out before the audience especially between Marcello and flirtatious Musetta (where a special mention must be given to Forkushak and Perrier for their chemistry and especially to the former who steals the show in Act II).
Sorano, Alyona Kistenyova as Mimi was poetic and emotional and I loved the feisty Olga Perrier as singer Musetta: wonderful of voice, cheeky and full of restrained energy.
In the title role Olga Perrier shines, her soprano voice effortlessly reaching the high notes and sustaining all the deep emotion and passion that the part entails. She also looks stunning and you can see why Radames would fall for her.
Olga Perrier’s Aida is well cast vocally and visually
