 Talkin' Broadway Review: LaBoheme
One of the production's most watchable and enjoyable performers has no billed alternate: Adam Grupper, as Benoit, the landlord threatening to collect the rent from Rodolfo, Marcello, and their fellow roommates (Daniel Webb and Daniel Okulitch), made his portion of the first act one of the funniest and most memorable of the evening.
But his work with the Benoit scene and the second act festivities - suggesting an ease not entirely present throughout - suggest that a more fully comic opera might be an appropriate next endeavor for this talented director who seems to insists on blurring further the already indistinct lines between opera and Broadway.
He is capable of working magic live just as he is on film, even if La Boheme does not prove the most ideal vehicle for his talents.

This DVD of the legendary production of La Boheme, directed by a young Baz Luhrmann, was beautifully filmed in February 1993 by Geoffrey Nottage and is more like a musical drama than an opera, which is not surprising since Nottage was a leading TV drama director.
Hobson and Barker had sung Rodolfo and Mimi in a VSO country tour of Boheme in 1987, so were old hands in the roles when the new updated version was premiered by The Australian Opera in Sydney, July 1990.
Just what a strain it was for him singing Rodolfo was demonstrated when, night after night, the young poet's tears for his dead Mimi became - after the end of the opera - the uncontrollable sobbing of a young singer at the end of his emotional and physical tether.

 LitKicks: La Boheme
The term did not catch on in a huge way, though, until 1845 when a writer named Henry Murger, himself a bohemian (and the model for his own character Rodolphe), began producing a series of stories about himself and his friends for a small Paris newspaper called Le Corsaire-Satan.
These stories were later collected in book form and staged as a play, Scenes de la vie de Boheme, which was a tremendous hit and an almost unbelievably definitive influence on French society.
Today this play is mainly known as the source of the Puccini opera 'La Boheme', but the opera was not introduced until 1896, when the Bohemian youth movement had already been old news for decades.
