LA Boheme

Experience Giacomo Puccini's lyrical romantic tragedy of young lovers in the Latin Quarter of nineteenth century Paris. Will Mimì and Rodolfo find a way to make their love survive terrible poverty, the freezing winter, and Mimì's life threatening illness? Puccini's magical melodies, including "Si, mi chiamano Mimì" and Mussetta's famous waltz transform this tale of lovers living on borrowed time into a timeless classic. It's a work that has turned up memorably in major feature films, including the Academy Award winner Moonstruck, and also inspired the brilliant modern Broadway musical Rent. (Sung in Italian with projected translations in English and Spanish.) Each program is accompanied by a pre-show lecture an hour before curtain with a talk-back session immediately following the performance.
