Opera Australia - La Bohème
Wednesday 24 July 7:30pm
On
a freezing Christmas Eve, love sparks. Two hands meet in the dark and four
friends’ lives change forever.
Experience the original
bohemian love story.
When Mimì meets Rodolfo, it’s love at first
touch. They head out to bustling Café Momus, where the feisty Musetta and
Marcello rekindle their relationship. But even the deepest love can’t warm
a freezing winter.
For our bohemians, everything is possible and
the future can't come quickly enough. Rodolfo and his friends are
determined to make their mark on the world and experience everything it
has to offer – but right now they'd settle for something warm to eat.
Some
emotions are too big for words alone, and for that, we have music. La
Bohème exposes your soul to the feelings that only music can
express. The music soars with the ecstasy of love, crackles with the pain
of jealousy and cries with the agony of loss.
Puccini’s score has
always captured the soaring spirit of young love, and this new production
breathes fresh life into one of the world’s favourite operas.
Award-winning director Dean Bryant (Anything Goes, Sweet Charity)
brings his trademark wit and vivacity to this new staging, which captures
that giddy moment where you and your friends feel you'll live forever.
