Puccini's La bohème stands as one of the world's most celebrated and frequently performed operas. This heartbreaking masterpiece, brought to life through Puccini's enchanting score, continues to captivate loyal enthusiasts while drawing in a new generation of opera-goers.
In Barbe & Doucet’s colourful production set in 1920s Paris, four struggling bohemians’ lives are changed when they meet a seamstress called Mimì. A blossoming romance becomes short-lived when they discover that Mimì is ill. Struggling to survive in the lavish yet unforgiving city, these charismatic characters are met with the harsh realities of poverty and fortune.
A first-rate cast brings this tender, tragic, yet life-affirming story to life. Hye-Youn Lee plays Mimì. She is joined by ‘born bel canto tenor’ (New York Times) Mario Chang in his Scottish Opera debut, Roland Wood, Rhian Lois, Callum Thorpe, Edward Jowle, and Jamie MacDougall.
