Who am I? A poet. What do I do? I write. How do I live? I just live." Rodolfo, Act 1

She is an impoverished seamstress. He is a poet. They live in downtown Paris with their artist friends, existing on little more than laughter and camaraderie, good fortune and love. It is a beautiful life, but not an easy one. It is Puccini's unforgettable La bohème.

Puccini's depiction of the bohemian lovers was hailed for its emotional and dramatic realism when it was first performed one hundred years ago. In this production, created by director Simon Phillips, Opera Australia is proud to present a Bohème for now - just as romantic, just as true, but with the immediacy and edge of a contemporary setting, and some of Opera Australia's finest young artists. Relive the romance as Rodolfo sings 'Che gelida manina', revel in Musetta's showstopping waltz and let Puccini's unerring instinct for melody win your heart.

The irresistible Hye Seoung Kwon opens in the role of Mimì and exciting young tenor Aldo Di Toro is her Rodolfo. Antoinette Halloran and Warren Mok take their places later in the season. The band of bohemians includes José Carbó, Warwick Fyfe and Jud Arthur. Amelia Farrugia and Taryn Fiebig share the show-stopping role of Musetta and Maestro Giovanni Reggioli conducts.
