Puccini's Romantic Opera Masterpiece

Experience Puccini's romantic opera masterpiece La Boheme, proudly presented by Opera Carolina. A superb cast will bring Puccini's exquisite arias and heartrending duets to life amidst the streets of Bohemian Paris. Puccini's La bohme precedes 'Rent' in portraying the struggles of the bohemian artist lifestyle. Its vibrant characters, known as the 'Friends,' embody youthful exuberance until confronted by the harshness of reality. This enduring narrative resonates across generations, capturing the essence of love, life, and the loss of innocence.

One of the most enduring and widely performed operas of all time, La Boheme sweeps audiences away to the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840s, the realm of painters, vagabonds, gypsies and poets. One such wordsmith is Rodolfo, friend of painter Marcello. By chance, the struggling creative meets the seamstress Mimi, and they embark on a love affair that blossoms through the cracks of poverty and late rent. As with all great operas, tragedy waits in the wings and threatens to tear the new lovers apart.
