The Met celebrates the 40th anniversary of Franco Zeffirelli’s beloved staging with an exceptional cast appearing as Puccini’s young bohemians. Soprano Maria Agresta is the ill-fated seamstress Mimì, alongside tenor Charles Castronovo as her lover, the poet Rodolfo. Soprano Gabriella Reyes and baritone Lucas Meachem are the on-again-off-again pair Musetta and Marcello, with Carlo Rizzi conducting.
