La Boheme Giacomo Puccini

The Bohemians are an idealistic, penniless bunch intent on enjoying the festive season. Tribulations, celebrations and a troubled love triangle provide a counterpoint to the genuine and profound love between Rodolfo and Mimi. Although they transcend love's enemy, misunderstanding, their destiny is ultimately a tragic one. Puccini's poignant music amplifies the drama, and, so long as we believe in the characters, their journey inevitably touches our most fundamental human emotions.

In the best traditions of Co-Opera, this production of La Bohème, set in no specific era, seeks that romantic essence which has made it one of the most widely performed and loved of all operas.

Experienced choreographer/director Nick Carroll always aims to entertain, and with its blend of humour, romance and tragedy, La Bohème is fertile material for a complete operatic experience.

This production will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra.
