finally a musetta that is not screaming ❤️

Musetta has had the world at her feet for decades ever since the opera premiered in 1896. Olga Kulchynska is perfect for the role: dazzling, gorgeous, so self-confident; just one furtive glance and one disarming smile suffice to bewitch us, forcing us all to hold our breath, in awe and admiration, hoping the waltz never ends. Stunning peformance.

I love at 5:00ish where Puccini starts to play the voices against each other. Beautiful.

"Quando m'en vo'" è assolutamente la mia aria preferita di tutti i tempi. Il canto, la musica... è tutto perfetto.

I've been watching this outstanding performance repeatedly. Olga Kulchynska is the ultimate example of what an opera singer must be. Not only a divine singer but an overwhelming actress (in the way acting is required). That includes how she perfectly articulates each word. Being portuguese my natural language, I understand italian reasonabily and catch each and every word. Opera is not only about technical skills, for there is a story to be told and audiences must understand it without the need of consulting the libretto all the time. For instance, you won't find another performance of this aria in which you can perceive so clearly a verse like "quando m'en vo soletta per la via" (singers tend to finish the sentence - "per la via" - just as a sequence of notes, making it imperceptible). Also remarkable is the way Olga moves and interacts, building the character with precision. Bravissima!

Je découvre aujourd'hui votre prestation extraordinaire il y a 7 ans déjà. Je vous remercie pour donner à votre Musetta un caractère et une brillance à la fois tout à propos et hors du commun. Merci Madame.

I'm in love with everything about this production! And the bohemians actually being played by young people is a great plus as well

Good performances overall, but Olga Kulchynska is just stunning. Great Museta in every way.

The Lulu haircut is perfect.

I think this is one of the greatest performers I have seen sing this part.

yup- loverly! I love her commitment to character- her musicianship throughout the aria's moment-to-moment unfolding... her singing isn't all about the high "B" either- she approaches it in an integrated way and it doesn't simply pop out as a show off note... we need more opera singing like this...

I must have watched this dozens of times, this performance by the divine Olga Kulchynska and the entire cast is, in a word: gorgeous.

My wife’s name was Musetta, named by her father after the musical, & she lived up to this beautiful name RIP my love until we meet again Bob sam Jo & grandson Mikey missed every day ❤️

Beautiful voice and musicality , i'm glad i've discovered Olga!

I love this performance. Congratulations, Olga! It would be lovely to see you at the Royal Opera House some day 😀

Superbly sang...glorious voices and amazing acting! Braviiiiii!! Musetta is exquisite!! A beauty that can really drive a man mad....and a voice seldom found. A mixture of an angel,siren and devil! Just perfect!!!!!!!!!!

3:20 Quando men vo

When Musetta sings, I get goosebumps!

Me encanta como interpreta el papel y tiene una voz preciosa....cuando se conjugan las dos cosas atrapan el alma del espectador. Bravo

This is my favourite performance of la boheme

BRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amazing performance, and such a carefully directed scene, like a living picture!

Magnífica interpretação de Olga Kulchynska ... BRAVO

...La musica di Puccini è la colonna sonora di un periodo straordinario dell’Europa... la belle epoque ... forse il più bel periodo della storia dell’umanità

what an opera company... they're spectacular!

Beautiful!!! Wow. One of the best renditions of Musetta I’ve ever seen.

Olga Kulchynska has just debuted her role as Musetta with the Met Opera in the fall of 2019. Thank God the Met brought her over from Europe, so that she will receive the accolades that she deserves.

La mejor versión que conozco. Excelente Olga Kulchynska, todos los cantantes-actores, en realidad, excelente interpretación! Gracias.

Cuando conjugan canto y actuacion es algo especial y precioso.....hace que el espectador entre de lleno en la obra.....bravo

Stunning production with Olga as Musetta in very fine voice! Excellent Marcello by Gabriel Bermúdez too!

Ahhh! I wanted to watch this to the end of the act! Superbly staged!

Great Musetta. Wonderful performance.

Looking forward to see your future performances, love to see you as Desdemona

Bravo Olga.Esta representación del Teatro del Liceo de Barcelona se ofreció en directo y gratis en más de 300 plazas de toda España

Bravo, Olga !!! I can't wait to see/hear your beatiful performance today evening in Zurich !

QUE HERMOSA MUSSETTA Y QUE GUAPO RODOLFO

I liked hearing the Italian and reading the French.

Such a beautiful voice

Bravissima !

Thanks uploader, wonderful.

Браво! Увидеть бы весь этот спектакль , спасибо !

Goose bumps and tears wow

Fabulous! Brava!!!

Outstanding! Such a range, so lyrical. I admit to being quite a bit in love with your Musetta - most of the others I've seen don't have the emotional range, nor the presence to stand out among the cast without being clad in some flouncy red dress (the 'scarlet woman'?) like you wore in the Met version, and as others wear. You have an edge of warmth to your voice that is most agreeable, even when you are scolding. For once, this scene is about actors singing, rather than the other way... your acting displays Musetta's provocation, anger, attempts at placation, and her playfulness fully, and your voice is appropriate to those actions. Of course, there's the intimacy of this recording - close-ups, and the focus on other actors, but there's also the incidentals: The whole cafe doesn't stop and gaze at Musetta here. No, sailors carry on eating, nuns drift away, autograph seekers get pulled out by their hair, and an older lady pours red wine. Kudos to Jonathan Miller for his directing and for helping you 'pull the right face' and bring out the best in you. This looks to be made for a film or TV I wonder what Puccini would have thought? He died in 1924 - about the era when this version is set, I think. Would he approve (and I wonder if he'd cringe, like I do, at the English National Opera's modern version 'Drive and Live')? Oh , I do wish you had more info on your website - I can't find anything more about this version. You haven't even included it on there - you should do... this is a wondrous display of your voice and talent.

Just fabulous! Superbly sung. A feast for opera lovers! Musically La Boheme is among the finest! Surprised to see 28 thumbsdowns! What do they find missing? Jamshed Delvadavala, Mumbai.

De tantas versiones esta es , a mi juicio, la perfecta Musetta !!!

Spettacolare, bravissima e bellissima!

best version ever!! bravo!!!

Olga, tienes una excelente voz.

Adorooooo !!!

Brava OLGA !

I am an 68 year old who is in love with musette lol

3:30 *Quando me'n vò soletta per la via* La gente sosta e mira E la bellezza mia tutta ricerca in me Ricerca in me Da capo a pie' Ed assaporo allor la bramosia Sottil che da gl'occhi traspira E dai palesi vezzi intender sa Alle occulte beltà Cosi l’effluvio del desio tutta m'aggira Felice mi fa, felice me fa! E tu che sai, che memori e ti struggi Da me tanto rifuggi? So ben Le angoscie tue non le vuoi dir Non le vuoi dir so ben Ma ti senti morir!

8 voces una locura italiana

I've heard some bad baritones in my life, but this one is deffinitely on top of the list. Jesus Christ

Bermúdez sings pitifully.

Perfection

Love it, LOVE it. Is the full opera on your channel? I hope so.

Does anyone know where I can find this full performance of the opera? I don't mind if it's on DVD, BluRay or streaming but if this video exists, the whole thing must exist somewhere and I would very much like to see it.

Muito legal(Brasil)

Stephen Fry is General Melchett at 3:30

amazing
