Synopsis

Irresistible in its witty, passionate blend of joy and sorrow, La Bohème follows the lives of a group of young artists as they eke out an existence on the bohemian fringes of Paris.

Director Brenna Corner brings her innovative and whimsical touch to this much-loved classic, set against a sweeping, stylized backdrop of the irresistibly romantic 19th century city of lights.

With Puccini’s wonderful music and a love story that has resonated through the ages La Bohème remains one of the best-loved operas of all time.

Reviews

"He has developed a rich, beautiful baritone, backed by a solid technique that allowed him to sing the top notes with assurance, not to speak of exemplary musicality and intelligence. There is a sincerity and directness of communication to his singing that is striking — this is a singer with something to say to his audience."
La Scena Musicale
