It’s love at first sight when struggling young poet Rodolfo falls for the seamstress Mimì. But with no money, is love alone enough to keep them warm through a bitter Paris winter?
Phyllida Lloyd’s acclaimed production of La bohème gives full expression to the joy, wit and frivolity of student life in 1960s Paris, but also faces squarely the devastation that death brings to a group of young friends.
La bohème remains one of the most popular operas, and with good reason. Puccini weaves a web of glorious melody throughout, and his music speaks directly to the heart of anyone who has ever been young and loved and lost.
