La Bohème

Directed by multiple award-winner Gale Edwards, Puccini’s emotional masterpiece La Bohème is brought forth to you live on stage. Edwards captures the visceral feeling aptly, and you will feel the music emanates everything from the agony of loss and the euphoria of love equally well. Composed to express feelings that cannot be described by words, La Bohème exposes your soul to music and its limitless capacity to look into the depths of your heart and mind. A prolific cast ensures that an unforgettable night awaits you, with Julie Lea Goodwin and Samuel Dundas’ electric chemistry as the on-again, off-again lovers Musetta and Marcello. Karah Son and Valeria Sepe share the role of Mimi, and Kang Wang and Ji-Min Park sing as the poet, Rodolfo.

The opera showcases the beautiful story of a love affair between a poor seamstress, and an equally penniless poet. The spectacular production by Gale Edwards is set in between the magical lights and the fishnets of Berlin in the 1930s. When Mimi meets Rodolfo, it’s love at first touch. Between the ideals of love, art, the cruelties of the cold winter, bitter jealousy, and empty pockets, two lovers are trying to find their way out. By the time the curtain falls, you’ll ask yourself if love is ever enough?
