loveclassics Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 If that's the Boheme Jonathan Miller staged for the Florence Maggiore Festival in 1997, it's brilliant. I was working in Florence at the time and was lucky enough to attend the first night. I'm going to record it anyway - you can never have too much Puccini IMHO.

loveclassics Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That's interesting. The Friday screening is on the screen guide but not on their website. In fact, there's very little on the website, apart from pictures. You'd think a media company would try a little harder to keep their customers informed.

I wonder if the Friday showing is not on the wesite yet as it is over a week away? This is the link I use to search Sky Arts for ballet shows. I can't remember how I got hold of it.
