Puccini's "La Bohème"

Church of Our Saviour
Chicago, IL

Share this event:

Windy City Opera presents La Bohème, Puccini's timeless tale of love and hardship. Starving artists burn their work for winter heat, live larger than life in a frigid attic, and use their wits to stay one step ahead of the landlord. Their harsh circumstances force passion into everything they do, whether in the fascination of Parisian cafés, the exuberance of Christmas on the streets, or the joys and pains of new-found love. Rodolfo and Mimì fall hard for each other but should they enjoy what time they have, or break things off before it's too late?

Puccini set this story, by turns funny, tender, and poignant, to some of the most beautiful music he ever composed. Windy City Opera's lightly-staged concert production will focus on that music above all; our vocalists, accompanied by a small ensemble, will sing the original Italian and English supertitles will be provided.
