Angel Joy Blue in English Northern Opera
production of Puccini's La bohème
I came across the stellar review of soprano Angel Joy Blue in the English National Opera production of La Boheme back in May:
Sergio
Puccini: La bohème
English National Opera
Coliseum, London, 7th May 2013
The best part of the evening was the show-stealing performance of Angel Blue who sang an outstanding Musetta: her portrayal breathed modern sass, a fiery energy, and, in Act IV, an extra bit of pathos into the rest of the performance. Her “Quando m’en vo” was both technically proficient and emotionally evocative, though one would have wished for a bit more pianissimo on the final B-flat.
