DARWIN FESTIVAL: La Boheme | Opera Australia

Experience the original Bohemian love story

A poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher walk into a bar to celebrate a sudden windfall in a lean winter. It’s Christmas Eve, and the poet has just felt the first pangs of great love. When a seamstress knocks on his door searching for candlelight, the pair fall in love faster than she can sing “Yes, they call me Mimì…” Some emotions are too big for words alone, and for that, we have music.

La Bohème exposes your soul to the feelings that only music can express. The music soars with the ecstasy of love, crackles with the pain of jealousy and cries with the agony of loss. Puccini’s score has always captured the soaring spirit of young love and this new production breathes fresh life into one of the world’s favourite operas. By the time the curtain comes down, you’ll know the answer to an eternal question: is love enough?
