Overview

One of the world's most beloved and famous operas, La bohème explores the lives of four bohemians struggling to realise their dreams on the fringe of society.

La bohème explores the lives of a group of bohemians living on the fringes of Paris. A passionate romance between poet Rodolfo and seamstress Mimì is at the centre of this magical opera.

With a great love story comes a beautiful score, and Puccini’s powerful yet delicate music tugs at the heartstrings. Featuring some of the most well-known arias and duets ever written, this opera is a treasure trove of musical highlights.

For opera aficionados and first-timers alike, La bohème is a tender and heartbreaking opera that will sweep you off your feet.

This event is supported by the QPAC 40 program, celebrating 40 years of curiosity, inclusion, gathering and stories.
