Synopsis

La boheme

---

Set in the artistic but impoverished milieu of early 19th-century Paris, the tragic love of the poet Rodolfo and seamstress Mimi is on the most affecting in all opera. La Boheme's arias are also some of the most intensely passionate Puccini ever wrote, making it is one of the best-loved of all his works.

In what Opera News called a 'through rethinking and brilliant re-creation' this exceptional Oslo production, strongly cast and conducted, and staged by internationally acclaimed director Stefan Herheim, explores the work as never before to create what The New York Times called an 'ultimately haunting' experience.
