I am so glad this video is up! I have seen this proformer several times at different venues during my trips home. I’ve always wondered about her because her voice is AMAZING!! Jennifer is an amazing singer. I will definetly make a trip to Manila catch her performance of La Boheme.
I can’t believe I’ve “found” her once again, and this time on Awesome planet. The last time I heard her sing was at the mall. I’ve always wondered about this amazing singer. Will she be doing more performances? Does she do recitals? I would love to learn more about this wonderful songbird. Is she an only child or does the rest of her family sing as beautifully as she does!
She’s beautiful!
Finally La Boheme will be staged again in the Philippines, after 16 long years 🙂 I’m so excited to hear the best opera singers in the country today! Congratulations in advance! Thank you OAP for posting this! Will definitely watch!

How does one enjoy an opera without hearing it? You can’t!
Immediately after Act 1 of “La Boheme”, at least 20 people left the theatre. Some went straight to the parking lot. While others, Filipinos and foreigners alike, went straight to the table (where the programs were sold) to express our disappointment and frustration. We simply could not hear the opera. With the exception of Rodolfo, one can barely hear the rest of the characters. Only Rodolfo’s soaring high notes that made an impression. This would have surely been a goose bump moment had there been a sound system.
The lack of acoustic enhancement was the tragic mistake. It is mind boggling to me that the Philippine Opera Company did not take careful measures to ensure the enjoyment of the first ever, full length opera with an all Filipino cast.
It was also quite annoying to see some characters dressed as if they were appearing in “Rent”. Layers of clothing, beanies and scarves were worn while they huddled in front of a fire. Seriously, it never gets that cold in Manila. The set design was a very poor and uninspired version of the “Rent”set design.
Whenever I watch an opera, I am prepared to hear magnificent voices, spectacular sets and grand costumes. Now, take the period costumes away and you are left with what looks like a run-through or rehearsal for an opera. I am not saying they need to be in evening gowns or showgirl costumes. But they could have at least given it more thought.
Rodolfo and Mimi’s outfits in Act 1 were beyond horrendous. Being Bohemian does not mean being “baduy” or devoid of style. In fact, the Bohemian style has even inspired haute couture.
Only three things were praise worthy of the October 4 performance: Rodolfo, Musetta and the video backdrop.
I immediately texted everyone I knew of this utter waste of time. Many had planned to go on the last night but opted not to because they have received similar warnings from other victimized friends.
….i am sorry to hear from viewer named frustrated and dissappointed that philippines la boheme opera was not intended as STATE OF THE ART performances i am not happy to hear that there are not enough sound systems how could anyone forgot that the most important thing in an opera is the sound system….also anything FIRST TIME must be remmebered as ‘extra ordinary’
NOT walking out of the theater next time instead of a fireplace put a small bonfire{manmade} instead of scarves used bandanas and make sure that your state of the art operas do not resemble
anything below state of the art EXPECTATIONS ao anton rache aidan joshua when creating your theaters-shows department tell your managing ‘staff’ that DETAILS are extremely RELEVANT in any state of the art shows performances but do not let frustrations prevent our awesome planet to do better to do future’s BEST so good luck and may the force of ‘filipiniana’ INSPIRATIONS be with you….
frustrated & dissappointed: sorry to hear about your anger & frustrations i wish they will have a better equipped sound system since opera is mostly all about sounds but your used of the word ‘victimized’ is over reaction coz why would local la boheme SABOTAGE their own play? NO ART THEATER LOVER would do that but maybe the stage director planners are not that good enough when it comes to PERFECTIONS in arts in theaters it could not be intentional coz it is also their lost so REFRAIN from publicly PULL DOWN their ‘affordable’ local staging by simply not using deragatory word just say YOU ASKED FOR YOUR MONEY BACK that would be considered fair & not a CRAB MENTALITY o even a saboteurs mentality
a point to consider if alright
