Stage direction and concept are by Igor Vieira.
Set and Light Designs are by Michael Palumbo.
Costumes by Abra Berman and Make Up by Lisa Cross.
It is always important to acknowledge these professionals without which the production simply could not have happened.

I attended the first night performance of La Boheme at West Bay Opera and was quite enthralled. The acting and the staging were uniformly excellent. As has been mentioned above, Mimi's performance was grand. But I also relished Maya Kherani's performance as Musetta. Both her singing and her acting were excellent "when she makes a scene between Marcello..". She infuses it with the right tinge of naughtiness. In the final scene she projects a completely believable empathy with Mimi.
