Puccini’s opera of young love in 19th-century Paris is packed with
beautiful music, including lyrical arias, celebratory choruses for Act
II’s evocation of Christmas Eve in the Latin Quarter and a poignant
final scene over which the composer himself wept. Richard Jones’s
character-led production perfectly captures La bohème’s mixture of
comedy, romance and tragedy, with striking designs by Stewart Laing.
The cast features some of the greatest interpreters of Puccini’s
bohemian lovers performing today, as well as former members of The
Royal Opera’s Jette Parker Young Artists Programme.Co-production
