Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Opening with Mimi (Marita Solberg) dying of cancer in a modern intensive care unit, Director Stefan Herheim superimposes the modern over the traditional in this dramatic and thought provoking new version of Puccini's La Boheme. With Norway's internationally acclaimed Eivind Gullberg Jensen conducting, the production reaches superb heights of operatic drama.

REVIEW
The director Stefan Herheim creates productions that are larger than life: intellectually charged but joyously theatrical. Little of his work has been captured on DVD, which makes this 'Boheme,' which he made for the Norwegian National Opera, a must-have. Mr. Herheim deconstructs the traditional sets of the company's previous production, creating a mixture of old and new with a sober twist: Mimi dies of cancer at the start, and the opera is reconfigured as Rodolfo's refusal to admit it. The production is a surreal, moving experience: sometimes mystifying but ultimately haunting. --The New York Times
