The Royal Opera’s new production of La bohème directed by Richard Jones will be screened live to cinemas around the world. One of the most popular operas in the repertory, Puccini’s romantic portrayal of bohemian Paris has captivated generations of opera lovers and newcomers with wonderful music and a love story drawn from everyday life.
It is love at first sight when Rodolfo and Mimì meet, and what ensues is a passionate, timeless, and moving story. Centring on a group of young artists, La bohème follows their struggles to find money for items such as food and rent, heartened by their friendships and romantic ideals. They live contentedly in their small apartment, but their idyllic lifestyle is threatened when Rodolfo learns that Mimì is gravely ill.
In Italian with English surtitles.
