Baz Luhrman is supposed to be bringing a version of this production of La Boheme to London in 2004/2005. If it's half as moving as this production, it will be impressive.
Some will hate the modernisation of the tale but the younger and more open-minded viewers should appreciate the talented, young, attractive cast. These people can sing beautifully and act their socks off at the same time.
David Hobson is still visibly sobbing at the curtain calls.
HIGHLY recommended.
