Standing ovation for what?

Must have been for Puccini and his opera. Not for this performance, not in my book anyway. Luca Canonici as Rodolfo was a disappointment, vocally and acting. Act 1 was a mess. Janne Berglund was too healthy to be Mimi. Act 1 meeting did not feel romantic. Act 2 was better but did not like the voice of Musetta. Act 3+4 was best. But I did not feel anything when Mimi died.

Even with a fever and almost no voice would Dessi/Armiliato had been better than this, and a standing ovation would have been very much in order.
