La boheme opera length3/26/2023 ![]() NC: I often lead with the heart and can be very emotional. How are you similar to your character in La Bohème ? I remember playing the trio “Zitti zitti, piano piano” from The Barber of Seville over and over again and my amazement at the speed of the notes and the ease in which the singers sang. MK: The first time I heard opera was in my teens when I was given a Maria Callas CD. ![]() Shortly after that I became obsessed with Kiri Te Kanawa’s Puccini album.
