When reminiscing with her on their first meeting, his rueful chuckle fell to a crying quality that was deeply moving. In Act four, Alagna’s emotions reached a tragic peak as Mimì laid dying.

His Act one aria, “Che gelida manina,” was delivered with great warmth as his humble introduction melted away, building towards a powerful, spinto conclusion.
In the role of Rodolfo, Roberto Alagna brought a wealth of dramatic understanding which supported his strong, yet poignant vocals. Not long after, when inviting Rodolfo to Café Momus, the departing men did a quick rotation as they delivered a line from the doorway before being pulled back by another bohemian. When let into the room, after a nicely-timed spit-take from Christian Van Horn’s Colline, Artur Ruciński’s Marcello readily lifted a chair he intended to beat the landlord with.
