Set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the late 1930s, La Bohème follows a group of young struggling artists as they experience the trials and tribulations of lives lived in art and love as the spectre of world war surrounds them. Centered around the somewhat toxic relationship between Rodolfo and Mimì as their passion flickers against the harsh truth of poverty and illness. Puccini’s beloved score breathes passion into every moment of the timeless libretto by Illica and Giacosa.
