Young talented soprano Olena Tokar, Kirowsk, Ukraine is performing Mimi at this year’s Verbier Festival’s production of La boheme or Carmina Burana at the BBC Prom in Royal Albert Hall.
Carmina burana is as musically inventive as it is irreverent – a choral cantata based on a medieval text charting the joys, fickleness and excesses of human life.
