"This production, performance and the quality of recording far surpasses that by Pavarotti and the finely portrayed Mimi of Renata Scotto in the 1972 recording from the Met and quite a few other productions in a crowded market."

El Pais

"…remarkable and solid set designing by Michael Scott, applicable only to a stage such as the Teatro Real's. The soprano Inva Mula succeeded in showing off her talent with a wide vocal register; brilliant and solid. Her diligence was as superb as the result, acclaimed for the audience. … Fabio Capitanucci brought to the Royal Theatre a vocally and physically powerful Marcelo. Del Monaco adds little details that are very well measured, which give a modern touch to the production which the audience appreciates." Filomusica

Giancarlo del Monaco's cinematic production of Puccini's popular masterpiece takes its place among the great interpretations of modern times.
