Great Performances at the Met: La Boheme

Starring Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo as the poet Rodolfo and Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais as the seamstress Mimì. Opolais made history when she agreed to make her company role debut as Mimì with just a few hours notice, having sung the title role in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly for the first time at the Met the night before. She became the first singer in Met history to debut two major roles in a 24-hour period.
