A friend (who had never been to an opera) joined me for this performance and loved it. The music was beautiful as were the voices and backdrops/scenery. I especially enjoyed seeing all the young talent on stage.

   Along with the voices, the fluid, natural acting made this production a standout. Although Mimi (Kristin Vogel) had some trouble expressing the high notes, her voice blended seamlessly with Rodolfo's (Nathan Granner). I saw some audience tears at the end. All the principals made their characters come alive, and Benoit's (Miles Rind) turn provided welcome comic relief in a bass baritone that became the center of attention when he was on stage.

 Nathan Granner and the orchestra were, to me, both outstanding! Thank you Tacoma Opera!

   I took my mother-in-law to this opera as she expressed that she'd really love to go. I was pleasantly surprised that we both lived it! The story brought me to tears. And to think, I thought I was going for her! (Thank you for the reader board in English. So helpful.)

   Wonderful. Thank you so much. It was a beautiful performance.

   Mimi was my fav! Every voice a treasure! Better than Seattle opera!!!! And a better value too.

   What a treat Tacoma Oprera/company's matinee' performance,of "LaBoheme"was to a community that treasures music so muchthat it provide rsalltoypesof musical experience and instruction insstry=ucion=achibg i ibstrumental and l rihhcommuniitysdterday's "

   Loved the tenor. Felt no chemistry between Rodolfo and Mimi and her volume on the frequent high notes hurt my ears. It would work outside, but too much for the space we were in. Musetta was sung and played well. My problem with the production was that I have seen too many Bohemes by the Met. Not fair to a small opera company. You guys did great. Loved the kids. Loved the community spirit. Long live opera!

   Awesome talent was on display. Top notch experience. Looking forward to the next performance.

   The Tacoma Opera production of La Boheme was absolutely spectacular! Every aspect was top notch -- the principal singers, the chorus, the orchestra, the staging, the sets and costumes. We will definitely be back for future performances.

   Fabulous

 Talent was good, but I didn't care for the story of
