Thank you elves. The final “amore” is one of the most exquisite moments in opera, IMO.
In real life Opolais is married to Andris Nelsons. Note her eyeroll toward Nelsons on the podium and the chuckle from the Boston audience at the 3:00 minute mark when Mimi responds ambiguously but hopefully (“we’ll see”) to an advance from Rodolfo.
