It was my first live opera and I found it so moving I cried for most of the performance. I just have to recall Celine Byrne's Mimi - so haunting - to bring a tear back to my eyes. A very memorable evening !!!

Celine Byrne as Mimi was absolutely brilliant as lead soprano and totally outshone her male counterpart, Gadolfo. Livingston was also brilliant as Musetta.

Great to see a full house. Sound was marvelous and I was very proud of our Irish Mimi. The Grand has proved itself a great venue for Opera. Let's have more of the same.

One of if not the best opera performances I have ever seen. The 2 ladies I went with were shedding waterworks during act IV and if truth be kwown I felt litte pinpricks behind my own pupils.
I was a little apprehensive about moving everything to modern day New York but it worked really well.
It will be a long time before I forget the night. As for the venue fantastic.

Having read a lukewarm review in the Irish Times I was prepared to find the tenor unimpressive and the modern setting gimmicky. Instead , on Saturday evening, I heard a Rodolfo who was almost on an equal par with an incridible Mimi.
While I don't usually like modern versions of opera I quite liked this innovative version and found it slick and professional, even if the orchestra sometimes seemed too intrusive.
I saw La Boheme in the Met in February with Juan Diego Flores and Anna Netrebko and enjoyed last night's performance just as much, to my amazement.
We were invited to the VIP area which was lovely and my first impression of Grand Canal is of a lovely theatre with good acoustics.
(Pity about the car park!)

Highly enjoyable evening's entertainment - the cast brought together the story and music to create atmosphere in every scene. The production values were superb and I would recommend La Boheme to anyone. They made a classic Opera accessible to all.

The setting was unexpected but interesting. Good use of IT. Celine Byrne has a beautiful singing voice. The baritone/bases also had good voices. The lead tenor seemed to struggle a little on the high notes but otherwise was very good. The acting was very good and really carried the story. The dying scenes at the end were quite emotional. Overall a most enjoyable performance. Definitely recommend it to my friends.

My first time in the Grand Canal Theatre,what a magnificent building, Dublin should be proud of such a jewel. La Boheme was wonderfully performed by all,and Celine Byrne got a standing ovation from her home audience,a marvellous nights entertainment.

The Opera La Boheme was performed with great passion and Mimi was only incredible. Was lovely for Celine to return to her home country as originally fromNaas. Beautiful opera all so simple as the love story unfolded...... not heavy so if you are not a 'opera buff' you would enjoy this. The whole stage and backdrops and props were only excellent - all so with 'this day and age' techi from laptop to mobile phones..... felt like it was happening now. Well presented by each performer from the young children to the main cast......each of them sang their hearts out and the acoustics in The Grand Canal Theatre added to it. Well done to Mimi and to all the cast on the best performance I have seen of La Boheme. Loved it. I was transported to another world and that was the bohemian world.....

The opera is set in modern times and while it took some time to get used to, it was much easier to relate to .

Favourite moment: First Act duet between Rodolfo and Mini. @

by Music01
Having seen the spell-binding Swan Lake at the opening of the Grand Canal Theatre last March, I was curious to see a full-scale opera at this great addition to the Dublin (and national) arts scene. I wasn't disappointed! The sound from the orchestra, to me, was firm and precise and the soloists all sang with clarity. Celine Byrne as Mimi was first class, her voice and her dramatic ability very well attuned to the role. The modern setting of New York might have put off some opera goers, but it all worked well for me.
Overall, a very enjoyable evening in tremendous surroundings. My only quibble - why can't the air conditioninmg be turned on? It was like a sauna.

The music was wonderful. Celine Byrne is the best Mimi I have ever heard, by a long, long margin. The acting was excellent. The stage fight and the other physical interactions among the characters felt natural. The set, however, was the worst I have ever seen. There were distracting lights and videos projected that competed with the singers for attention, even lights blinking out into the audience. The dreariness of an office-like atmosphere was nothing like the dreariness of poverty. (In fact, were they short of money, they could have flogged some of that very expensive electronic equipment.) Staging the restaurant scene in some abomination of an art gallery was atrocious. The worst, possibly, was Colline singing the aria to his overcoat -- to a piece of paper. Everything in the set worked against the themes and the text of the opera. To hear Celine Byrne I would see it all again.

really enjoyed the performance. However the sound was not great at times. The orchestra was louder than the singers at time which was a bit disappointing. Otherwise very pleasant.
