SUMMARY

Voices will soar and hearts will break as Gale Edwards’s raw and tender new production of La bohème takes the stage at the Sydney Opera House. 

Meet the bohemians.  Young, beautiful and in love. 

This carefree band of friends is  fighting for survival in the gaudy twilight of 1920s Berlin.

When cabaret star Musetta sings she is the most beautiful woman in the world.  When the idealistic writer Rodolfo meets the innocent seamstress Mimì the passion blazes in their hearts.  But love won’t pay the rent.

This is one of the world’s favourite operas, ever.  See it, hear it, love it now.

Performed in Italian with English surtitles.
Running time: Approximately two hours and ten minutes including one twenty-minute interval.

Please note:  Act 2 contains partial nudity.
