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

“Peter McGillivray as Schaunard, the musician among the bohemians…was very much the catalyst of the action and the principal source of much of the comedy. Evidently experienced on stage, he was well cast in the role.”
