Puccini's La Bohème is coming soon: May 8, 10, and 12
Part of the inspiration for the popular Broadway musical, Rent; and the film Moonstruck; La Bohème follows
the story of young bohemians living in Paris, a poet, a painter, a
musician, and a philosopher who long for a deeper connection to
society, to one another, and in the case of the poet Rodolfo, to the
beautiful but frail seamstress, Mimi. This production features some of
the greatest arias and music in the repertoire and is not to be missed.
Call 916.808.5181 or visit tickets.com to secure your seat today! Tickets start at $15.
