La bohème

The Paris of love and art. A poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher.

Living hand to mouth in a freezing garret. Christmas cheer and a heart won by girl next door. The tragedies of love and poverty. Puccini’s best-loved opera is touching, comic, realistic and romantic, true for any time in which deep bonds can flower in the face of adversity.

Experience the power of Puccini's sublime score in this special livestreamed concert performance featuring celebrated Irish sopranos Celine Byrne and Anna Devin, in the roles of Mimì and Musetta.

“Celine Byrne's rich-voiced consumptive Mimì made lovely work of her voluptuous arias” - The Times
“an exquisite, silvery voice, completely uniform in all the registers” - The Times on Anna Devin
“a real find . . . with a power and clarity which appears to increase at the top of his register” - bachtrack.com on Merūnas Vitulskis
