Experience the romance of the original bohemian love story
The way first love grabs hold and floods you with something you’ve never felt before. The fire that burns you the first time jealousy flares. The growing up you do in the instant you realise love can’t last forever.
Some emotions are too big for words alone, and for that, we have music. La Bohème is the original bohemian love story – the opera that inspired RENT and Moulin Rouge.
Puccini’s score exposes your soul to the feelings that only music can express. It soars with the ecstasy of love, crackles with the pain of jealousy and cries with the agony of loss.
Gale Edwards’ glittering production, set in the fairy light-filled cabarets of 1930s Berlin, is a long-time favourite of audiences.
Presented by Opera Australia
