La Boheme
Puccini's La Bohème
Love and youthful exuberance lead to heartbreak in 19th century Paris, in Puccini’s unparalleled masterpiece.
On Christmas Eve, frail Mimì and young Rodolfo find love in the impoverished, lively Latin Quarter. Surrounded by art, music, philosophy and good friends, the lovers enjoy a few months of bliss before Mimì’s deteriorating health tears them apart. They are reunited, joyfully, as Spring blossoms, but by then it is too late. Mimì passes away, leaving Rodolfo and her dear friends devastated.
La Bohème is one of the most revered operas in the repertoire. With boisterous
humour, pathos, an inspired score and indelible characters, Puccini’s lovely opera will sweep you away with romance, joy, and sheer beauty.
April 26, 29 and May 1, 3, 6, 8, 2008. Tickets from $29.
