The Winter Season of Puccini's La Bohème
NOW ON
"... this production scores ... from a low-key beginning to a powerful, believable finale." -The Dominion Post
 This new New Zealand production of La Bohème, one of the best-loved of all operas, opens our 2008 Opera Season. A group of bohemians live life to the full in Paris. Into their circle comes the enchanting seamstress Mimì. Romance flowers, but the effect of poverty and hardship is ever present. Featuring Opera Australia star Antoinette Halloran as Mimì, the new glamour boy of international tenors, Jesus Garcia, as Rodolfo and Tiffany Speight makes a welcome return after her acclaimed performance in The Magic Flute in 2006. Directed by Patrick Nolan, and conducted by Emmanuel Joel-Hornak.
