La bohème

About the Show

La bohème is a story of friends and idealists, living freely as they pursue their dreams, tangled up in love’s highs and lows. At the heart of the story are Rodolfo and Mimì, filled with youthful hope and a love that could last forever, but their optimism is soon shattered as they face poverty, illness, and loss.

Beautiful melodies and spine-tingling performances envelope you in the tenderness of young love, and offer deep reflection on the moving moments in our lives that unite us all.
