"La Bohème"

"La Bohème" Brings the Romance of Paris to the Metropolitan Opera House

Puccini's story of love, loss and the artistic world of 19th-century Paris comes to vibrant life in this stunning Zeffirelli production at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, which you can enjoy with an included glass of sparkling wine. Featuring strikingly designed sets and costumes, not to mention an exciting cast of singers, "La Bohème" finds the poor poet Rodolfo and the painter Marcello drawn into a tangle of love and jealousy after the frail Mimi knocks on their door. These youthful dreamers navigate the complicated maze of romance amid the colorful Bohemian enclaves of the city and its snowy streets, until they realize they can no longer hide from the world's harsh realities. The cast features Pretty Yende, Matthew Polezani, Davide Luciano, Ildebrando D'Arcangelo and conductor Domingo Hindoyan. A huge hit when Puccini premiered it in 1896, the opera's popularity and power hasn't dimmed since.
