The film was made in 1997 as José Cura's international career was just beginning to take flight. It's just a snippet but already Cura's extraordinary ability to empathize with his character was notable, as was the sensitivity of his approach to the moment.

La bohème -- Zürich

2010

La Bohème, Zürich: “I could not choke back my tears: I could not even imagine a more touching and complete rendition of Rodolfo than the one José Cura has given on this Sunday afternoon. The quality of his voice, now much more mature and baritone-like as it was some 10 years ago, is hardly overestimated. The top may be not as amazing as it used to be but the capacity of penetrate in the heart of the role and convey feelings is fantastic, and something you can’t measure. I was struck by his last words after Mimi’s death: this is real verismo!” Place de l'Opera, March 2010
