Making off of "La Bohème," by Puccini, and an interview with the artistic director John Neschling.

"(...) for some critics, in La Bohème, Puccini already look foreshadow the kind of dramatic time that would be ideal in cinematographic art. In this opera, as Conrad Wilson points out in his book about the composer, 'the music is the action, and the action is the music in a new way in opera. It is this dynamic that makes vividly exact the musical description of each incident of the second act unique in opera history. We have a music that is not frozen in time in the way that normally has to be in opera. Even the orchestral moment, as well the singing, sounds coloquial, fresh, without sacrificing the beauty or instrumental neither the vocal sonority. No one -- excepting the own Puccini in a moment in the third act of Manon Lescaut -- had ever done something like this before in Italian opera, and no one would successfully do it'."
