OPERA NIGHT WITH PAUL HERRIOTT

In tonight’s opera we bring you a passionate, timeless, and indelible story of love among young artists in Paris. A brilliant cast takes the stage as Puccini’s lovesick young bohemians. In the lead roles soprano Kristina Mkhitaryan is the delicate seamstress Mimì, and tenor Joseph Calleja sings the role of the enamoured poet Rodolfo. Maestro Alexander Soddy takes to the podium to conduct the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus live from New York.
