The Astra Theatre in Gozo has announced the cast for next month’s production of La Bohème, with this new, scenically-dazzling production of Puccini’s all-time favourite, the Astra Theatre said that it has engaged a formidable cast.

The leading duo features Miriam Cauchi who is partnered by Leonardo Caimi – making his Malta debut.

Cauchi’s gold cast credentials as a poignant Puccini interpreter are second to none, as seen by the outstanding success alongside Joseph Calleja, in a recent Malta concert featuring the unparallelled love duet which closes the first act of La Boheme.

Leonardo Caimi possesses a beautiful, warm passionate Italian voice sustained by a faultless technique, and a superb stage persona. The Theatre said that he is much sought after worldwide as the ideal Rodolfo.

Defined by critics as “the voice which sets audiences’ hearts on fire,” baritone Devid Cecconi, is another trump card. Blessed with a dark, yet clear timbre, evocative of the great Gino Bechi, Cecconi is a perfect fit as combative Marcello.

Bass Gabriele Sagona, a rising star, is highly valued for his sonorous, elegant and deep voice in the best of the Italian tradition.

The role of coquettish and teasing Musetta has been entrusted to Oana Andra who is endowed with a crystalline voice, and impressive histrionic powers.

La Bohème forms part of the 14th edition of Festival Mediterranea and is being performed at the Astra Theatre, on Thursday, the 29th and Saturday, the 31st of October,

Booking is now open on 21550985 or email: bookings@mediterranea.com.mt.
