Three magnificent Royal Opera productions of three of Puccini’s greatest operas. John Copley’s iconic La bohème brings 1830s Paris to life in vivid detail; Jonathan Kent’s atmospheric and naturalistic Tosca evokes the turbulence of Rome in 1800; and Andrei Serban’s visually stunning Turandot is a glorious tribute to Puccini’s last and grandest creation. Featuring a host of international opera stars, including Jonas Kaufmann, Angela Gheorghiu and Bryn Terfel, this collection is brimming with the drama and sumptuous music that has made Puccini one of the world’s most popular opera composers.
