Opera Brava brings together a cast of national and international singers to perform Puccini’s finest score, “La Bohème”. This professional and dynamic company returns to the enchanting backdrop of Borde Hill Garden for the seventh year running. This will be an evening of high quality entertainment - not to be missed!
Set in Paris in the 1830s among a group of impoverished Bohemians, the opera centres around the tragic love affair between the seamstress, Mimi, and Rodolfo, a poet. Frivolity, joy, tenderness and sorrow are all expressed in the wonderful music of this most treasured of operas. La Bohème is a masterpiece and is undoubtedly Puccini’s finest score.
Bring a chair and a picnic to enjoy this summer highlight in a setting as magical as the music itself.
