About La Bohème

A painter, a musician, a philosopher and a poet are having a night on the town. Café Momus is too pricey for them — they’ve nothing to weigh down those moth-eaten pockets. But why worry? The bar tab can wait.

The way first love grabs hold and floods you with something you’ve never felt before. The fire that burns you the first time jealousy flares. The growing up you do in the instant you realise love can’t last forever.

Some emotions are too big for words alone, and for that, we have music. La Bohème exposes your soul to the feelings that only music can express. It soars with the ecstasy of love, crackles with the pain of jealousy and cries with the agony of loss.

Gale Edwards’ glittering production, set in the fairy light-filled cabarets of 1930s Berlin, is a long-time favourite of audiences. Kang Wang returns with his celebrated portrayal of Rodolfo, alongside Olivia Cranwell as Mimi.
