Experience the timeless romance and unforgettable music of "La Bohème" as Opera Australia takes this classic opera on a national tour in 2024. Set against the backdrop of a freezing Christmas Eve, "La Bohème" tells the story of love at first sight between the seamstress Mimì and the poet Rodolfo. Their passionate love story unfolds in the bohemian streets of Paris, capturing the hearts of audiences with its blend of joy, love, and tragedy.

This new production, directed by the award-winning Dean Bryant and featuring the creative talents of Isabel Hudson (Set & Costume Designer) and Damien Cooper (Lighting Designer), promises to breathe fresh life into Puccini's masterpiece. With a score that weaves the ecstasy of love, the crackle of jealousy, and the cry of loss, "La Bohème" exposes the soul to the profound emotions that only music can express.

Join us on a journey through Victoria and New South Wales, with stops in cities such as Dandenong, Horsham, Warrnambool, Wagga Wagga, Goulburn, Dubbo, and many more, to experience the original bohemian love story that has captivated audiences for generations. Don't miss the opportunity to witness this spectacular production, supported by The Opera Conference, Australia’s national partnership of professional opera companies, and funded by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, the NSW Government through Create NSW, and the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

Prepare to be moved by the soaring spirit of young love in "La Bohème" – a timeless opera that continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
