La bohème “…as dazzling as snow in sunshine.” Limelight ★★★★ 1/2
One of the world’s most beloved and famous operas, La bohème explores the lives of four struggling bohemians on the fringes of mainstream society.
La bohème explores the lives of a group of bohemians living on the fringes of Paris. A passionate romance between poet Rodolfo and seamstress Mimì is at the centre of this magical opera.
With a great love story comes a beautiful score, and Puccini’s powerful yet delicate music tugs at the heartstrings. Featuring some of the most well-known arias and duets ever written, this opera is a treasure trove of musical highlights.
For opera aficionados and first-timers alike, La bohème is a tender and heartbreaking opera that will sweep you off your feet.
