Synopsis:

Giacomo Puccini's incomparable masterpiece, “La bohème” is a beloved tale of love and bitter tragedy. “La bohème” has inspired audiences for more than 130 years with its glorious melodies illuminating the eternal story of starving artists and star-crossed lovers in the Latin quarter of Paris. Puccini sets the poet Rodolpho and the fragile Mimi in the garrets of Paris and the raucous streets of the Latin Quarter. Amidst the revelry, the lovers and their artist friends, Colline the philosopher, Schaunard the musician, Marcello the painter and his fiery girlfriend Musetta, charge headlong into a series of tragic trysts and romantic misadventures.

Some of the most cherished melodies in all of opera, poignant and touching moments of heartfelt emotion, true love and ultimate loss, are yours to wrap your heart around. It is said that when Puccini penned the final notes of La Bohème, he wept copiously. Let the music and the sheer, human helplessness of the characters carry the day.
