La bohème
Giacomo Puccini

★★★★★ “A terrific production with excellent performances.” – Limelight 

“A Brisbane Festival treat.” – InReview

“An enchanting operatic, symphonic and theatrical success…I was not disappointed.” – Australian Arts Review

One of the world’s most beloved and famous operas, La bohème explores the lives of four struggling bohemians on the fringes of Paris. A passionate romance between poet Rodolfo and seamstress Mimì is at the centre of this magical opera.

With a great love story comes a beautiful score, and Puccini’s powerful yet delicate music tugs at the heartstrings. Featuring some of the most well-known arias and duets ever written, this opera is a treasure trove of musical highlights. 

For opera aficionados and first-timers alike, La bohème is a tender and heartbreaking opera that will sweep you off your feet.
