Corinne Winters voice sent chills running up my spine. It is a voice full of glory. Her Mimi was sublime. I can still feel how cold her hands were in that unheated tenement in Paris where she eked out a living embroidering flowers and other lovely images on linens for the rich. This is an opera about poverty and the gifted, beautiful people who suffer and die because of poverty and tuberculosis. They are still suffering and dying from poverty today and not only in Paris. We have 40 million or more poor people right here in the U.S. where the Wall Street banks wallow in their unearned billiions. Winters made us feel Mimis poverty through her frozen fingertips and feel the love that she and Rodolfo shared so briefly through a Paris winter before TB took her away.
