...Mimi, which she has sung at La Scala, Mirella Freni, 29, an Italian lyric soprano of talent and beauty, can hold her own with Tebaldi, De los Angeles and Moffo. Her voice is easy and focused, but her particular strength as the little seamstress is her touching youthfulness. Tenor Ni colai Gedda is equally melodious and moving as her lover.

And he shows range and spirit as a humorist-some of the bedroom bits are shy but sly, and the house comes down when Kate, playing the woman of the world with a cigarette she can't quite get the hang of, drops it down her cleavage and has to be royally sloshed with the nearest pot of milk...
