Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Luigi Illica & Giuseppe Giacosa


You only live once.

Young artists in Paris fall in love and fall ill, but never fall in line. Living exclusively for art and love can take a toll on a person, however, and sometimes the price of living the Bohemian life is higher than just owed rent. This timeless tale of idealistic youth and heartbreaking loss has captured hearts for more than a hundred years, and Puccini's iconic score makes it easy to fall in love alongside Mimì and Rodolfo.

This new-to-Seattle production transports audiences to 1920s Paris. Directed by our own General and Artistic Director James Robinson, La bohème features the "crystalline voice" (Houston Press) of soprano Mané Galoyan and 2025 Maria Callas Debut Artist of the Year Sylvia D'Eramo as Mimì.

In Italian with English subtitles
Approximate Running Time: 2 hours and 20 minutes including one intermission
