About La bohème
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.
