Puccini’s exploration of the joy, anguish and heartbreak of young love has made La Bohème one of the most popular operas of all time. With its succession of passionate arias and duets, this is the ultimate romantic opera.

La Bohème draws audiences into the heart of Paris life in the 1830s; from the bare student garret to a bustling street, from a packed café to a snowy dawn on the edge of the city where a tragic truth is finally revealed.

With the added impact of its lively staging, beautiful melody and rich orchestral colour, this revival of La Bohème is also a great showcase for its cast of internationally acclaimed singers. The potent combination of Puccini’s great music and intense passion from opera stars in live performance once more shows why this great work is so popular and so famous.

With its touching story, La Bohème has a special appeal that Royal Opera audiences can never resist.

La Bohème is performed in Italian with English surtitles.
