It is SO NICE to hear the written harmony at the end instead of both going up!!!

[@wotan10950]

Absolutely! Puccini wrote it to represent love and moonlight, not two singers trying to scream a high-C. I love it as sung here, the way Puccini wrote it.

[@danawinsor1380]

Thank you for pointing that out! Puccini knew what he was doing. Don't change Puccini's notes! This is not bel canto!

[@michaelfabiano4557]

It was an honor to sing in this gorgeous production by Richard Jones. Hope you all can see it on DVD when it is released in a few weeks.

[@qhsperson]

I'm glad to see anything you are in since I saw The Audition. And you were silly as hell in Fledermaus.

[@lalabrown2480]

Cant wait. I saw this online the other day and havent stopped playing it. I see the BBC is showing the opera tonight. I am in New Zealand and will have to wait a wee while, sadly

[@michaelfabiano601]

So kind of you...had so much fun in the fledermaus !!!!

[@qhsperson]

It showed -- and thank you so much for responding! Since I heard it on the radio, it just shows how expressive your singing is.

[@victorkhodadad4575]

Bravo! You sound great and had some beautiful acting moments! I love the surprise when she comes to you on "...vicino"...

[@vickiw3335]

He is absolutely one of the best tenors singing today!

[@FelixFelixFelixFelixFelixFlx]

the way she trembles before rushing to him makes it all the more incredible

[@godlygirls62]

One of the most superb renditions of O Soavè Fanciulla I've ever seen/heard

[@sylvain_10beringer29]

You should wash your ears seriously

[@christopherhalls8209]

What a performance . I was there. Puccinis best . ❤

[@voidofmisery4810]

My dream would be to see a performance like this live. I would probably break down in tears of joy

[@anitaadcock4068]

My wife surprised me with wonderful seats to view this. I admit it was hard to hold back the emotion at times when I least expected to.

[@stanbalog354]

I saw a similar performance at Chicago's Lyric Opera and wept openly.

[@magyar1227]

I'm 74, and have seen La Boheme countless time in my life. I still tear up at this point, and I always begin to weep openly at the finale.

[@daviidwatson7098]

Watched the whole production a few months ago. As ever this music, even though the ending is so sad fills me with joy and hope.

[@alastairkerr6081]

Stunning Performance listen to this over and over cry every time.

[@anitaadcock4068]

Yes ...I listened to Pavarotti version by chance ...then I listened to this more modern version ...absolutely beautiful ...inspired me to see it live . Nice one Fabiano !

[@izzy1221]

My ears are overjoyed!

[@donnaluciwilliams243]

Had the pleasure of experiencing a solo performance by Michael Fabiano just yesterday in Nob Hill. So looking forward to his next local tour.

[@MG-pl5uu]

The fact this guy looks exactly like angel from buffy makes it so much better love this performance

[@johnhagan-zr4pm]

That's a great performance from both of them

[@nickwyatt3243]

I was there last night when Rodolfo had a problem with his voice and the real-life husband of Ekaterina Siurina took over from the wings while Atalla Ayan acted and mouthed the words from on stage. It added a particular drama and every one of us the audience willed it to be a triumph - and it was! A magnificent performance with exceptional plaudits all around to the six (seven) voices for thier professionalism and dedication to their task. A wonderful performance! But I need to record my praise of the sets, lighting and set movement; Stewart Laing, Bob and Tamar Manoukiamn but also Sarah Fahie and Danielle Urbas. I thought the use of mobile set items was completely magical and enhaced the story perfectly. I particularly enjoyes thge movement of the hut in Act Three which seemed to reflect the pan shot in cinematography. Perfect, superb and brilliant. I congratulate you all.

[@joesie74]

beautiful.. also the ending! bravo👏

[@pfjb9122]

She couldn't wait for him to say it! Very good.

[@austinmarius850]

Incredible performance.. just stunned that I found this. BRAVO

[@jeh500]

Beautiful voices - & passion.

[@Olgaalwina]

Michael is class of own !!!!

[@alexturovs]

Изумительное пение! Сплошное наслаждение!

[@omahenrichs7490]

Dit vind ik de mooiste scène uit deze opera

[@bhob70]

goosebumps - this is beautiful

[@MsPleyades]

Bravissimi!!!💖💕👌👏👏👏

[@Hypohair]

Awesome

[@KoreanWalker777]

It is a very beautiful scene.Bravo!

[@davidlwebb324]

Sublime.

[@Sescampeon]

muy buena escena, me gusta sus voces y su actuación.

[@데이비드김-g7z]

Brabo~♡

[@EndrigoFR]

Fabiano è fantastico.

[@MargaretRoigard]

Wow!!!!!!

[@godlygirls62]

Beautiful performances. Rivals the recordings of Caballe, Domingo, Pavarotti and Renee Fleming

[@rosy3385]

Superbe !

[@toonangel1723]

0:58-1:27 this part MAN🥺🥺

[@johnmorley7178]

It was great to see you in this. I also very much enjoyed your Duca in Berlin. Very disappointed you were not able to sing Don Carlo at ROH this July. Any plans for this to be done soon? It would be super to see you in this role?

[@godlygirls62]

Has Kathleen Battle ever sang the role of Mimi? Ive looked but cant find it

[@godlygirls62]

Does anyone know if Kathleen Battle ever sang the role of Mimi ? If so, it must have been otherworldly😮

[@FutureAlisa]

This is a VERY beautiful song :)

[@Anastasia-pc4xy]

wonderful

[@stevenshaylerhodes]

Exquisite.

[@pilarpaco6569]

Fabiano has a wonderfull voice

[@alfonsobermejo8544]

This is the hottest version❤️‍🔥🐙❤️‍🔥

[@fannyjemwong]

EXTRAORDINARIOS

[@MariyaExperimentiert]

I'm just here because I saw Tommy Wiseau in the thumbnail.

[@fredo1070]

Mascha The Room the Opera. O soave fanciulla translated into English means 'You are tearing me apart Lisa'.

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

Beautiful duet but the sets are terrible.

[@lindseydejesus1877]

i hate this comment so much because i *DIDN'T* see Tommy Wiseau, originally, but guess what? now i can't unsee it.

[@oliverdelica2289]

Yo 😂😂😂

[@Shannon-f8w]

It's a nice Room

[@joshuanesbit]

Sublime

[@exsurgedomine3222]

o wow, they have freakish big hands..

[@johnsummers9790]

This was the new ROH production. The singing was brilliant but I preferred the earlier sets. I did not like Michael Fabiano's long hair. I have been since and seen this production a further two or three times with different singers - fortunately, Rudolfo did not have long hair!!

[@martinchuzzlewit2452]

The music is so gorgeous, the singing is so wonderful but the direction sucks. Rudolfo is staring at Mimi in the moonlight, he notices how beautiful she is... this production misses EVERYTHING.

[@LordMgls]

It does add some interestingly timed innuendos throughout these 4 minutes.

[@terrietackett8964]

What's that white speck on his forehead??

[@ellavoslinsky_flute]

Terrie Tackett that's snow hehe

[@DAMORBEL]

The whole technical side looks like a fail to me.

[@THEROLLINGROAD2010]

Its a Post It with the words for Mimi in microdot just in case she forgets them as on his sleeve which she discretely brushes off.

[@Italopera3376]

No, no es extraordinario. La voz del tenor carece de brillo en los agudos. Evita también el "ultimo ut" que la soprano está sola para hacer. La referencia permanece en 1960 creo, en San Francisco, con Luciano Pavarotti y Mirella Freni.

[@faithwilliams3405]

Beautiful casting but i prefer the John Copley set.

[@pilarpaco6569]

Faith Williams b

[@vegtamvanderveg]

on the high dramatic part her vibrato is so bad that although she's singing on tune you hear mainly a tone that is 2 and a half tones higher which clashes horribly. This is why people hate opera these days.

[@lucafamea2053]

Regia debole

[@JWP452]

They missed the mark for about a light year. :(

[@DAMORBEL]

What a ghastly decor, not the slightest indication that the occupants were artists. How insulting can you get?
