LA BOHÈME GIACOMO PUCCINI
SUMMER 2017: JUN 10, 15, 17, 20, 23, 25m, 29 JUL 2m
Puccini’s timeless story of love, heartbreak and the fragility of life returns by popular demand! Sweeping melodies and rich, heartfelt harmonies drive home the joy and sorrow of struggling young artists in 19th-century Paris. A cast of acclaimed talent takes on the lead roles under the baton of Carlo Montanaro, who conducts the score with “flair and perceptivity in equal measure” (The Seattle Times).
