La Boheme, May 2002

La Boheme, in period costume and sung in the original Italian.

La Boheme is possibly the most popular opera of all time and the mixture of heart-stoppingly beautiful music, tragic love story and delightful comedy is so true to the eternal spring of youth and love that it might have been written, not 104 years ago, but the day before yesterday. It ends in a death, but it’s about passion and hope, qualities not even death can erase. And if any company can capture the youthfulness and intensity of the story, Opera Box surely can.
