La bohème description
Back at the English National Opera to thrill audiences all over again, this iconic production by Jonathan Miller returns by popular demand. This is his iconic production of La Bohème, set in gritty 1930s Paris. Expect a wonderfully intense and passionate opera experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned opera lover or new to the genre, this show will stay with you for life. Puccini’s music is gorgeous. The story is simple and timeless, exploring the power of love. This is an evening of hope and heartbreak, lit up by Puccini’s exquisite melodies. The staging is pure 1930s in stark black and white, a brilliant setting for the story and music.
An ageless love story sung by fine singers
It may have been written 130 years ago but this story never grows old. When the young Parisian couple, Mimì and Rodolfo, fall in love they think their love makes them invincible. Together they’ll survive anything life throws at them. Then, illness and poverty come their way. Will their passion stay alive?
Clelia Cafiero conducts with Crispin Lord as Revival Director. Amanda Holden is the Translator and the cast includes Nadine Benjamin as Mimi, Joshua Blue as Rodolfo, Charles Rice as Marcello and Vuvu Mpofu as Musetta. Patrick Alexander Keefe sings Schaunard and Dingle Yandell is Colline.
Joshua Blue has wowed audiences as Tamino at the Metropolitan Opera, and with the American Symphony Orchestra and Leon Botstein for Dvořák's Requiem at Carnegie Hall. Nadine Benjamin MBE is a previous ENO Harewood Artist, at the heart of ENO’s Olivier Award-nominated Blue.
