Puccini La bohème
A concert performance
La bohème is one of the most famously melodious and eternally popular of all operas; the carefree attitude of youth and the harsh realities of life are poignantly contrasted through the tender affair of Mimì and Rodolfo, from the heights of their first meeting through to the tragic end. Since its first performance in 1896, La bohème has become one of the most frequently performed operas internationally.
Under the direction of the young conductor Rory Macdonald, heralded as 'an opera conductor to watch, destined for great things' (The Sunday Times), we spend an evening set in Paris in the 1830s, with a wonderful cast of singers led by the Irish soprano Sinéad Mulhern and the award-winning American tenor, Bryan Hymel, hailed by the Independent (London) as a singer with 'a voice like Roberto Alagna's in his prime'.
