| Marinelli was in mellow form, and according to Ray Brown in The Chronicle, �Although he was so deliberate in the delivery of �Che gelida manina� as to lag a bit behind the orchestra at times, it was a deliberateness that served to accentuate the ease with which he sustained notes and linked them in unbroken sequence.�./ pg 12 - 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| October 12, Adler put on a waiter�s jacket and suddenly appeared on stage during Act 2, and with back to the audience, poured real Champagne for the Bohemians. It was the tenor�s birthday./ 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| Bjoerling�s debut occurred in Boheme�he liked to get on stage before the Act 2 curtain so he could put some real beer in his Caf� Momus mug. He was also partial to raw eggs � consumed in sherry!/ pg 81- 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |

| She(Angela Gheorghiu) was matched in every way by her Rodolfo, tenor Piotr Beczala. His is also a commanding talent, his voice easily riding Puccini�s great crests of sound yet delicately spinning out every nuance that follows. He was especially persuasive in attracting Mim� (�Che gelida manina�), describing his penniless poetic dreams (�e per castelli in aria�) and romantic hope (�la speranza!�). Beczala�s rendition was so fresh, so fervent, that it seemed as if this all-too-familiar music had never been heard before. He too developed his character over time, his early ardor later wrenched by the guilt that he may be contributing to Mim�s illness with �La mia stanza � una tana squallida� (my room is a squalid den), his voice darkened by despair./ SFCV |
