Opera Australia's
La Bohème
By Puccini

Experience the original bohemian love story with Opera Australia's gorgeous new production of Puccini's La Bohème.

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. 

Note: Sung in Italian with English surtitles and performed with a live chamber orchestra.
