La bohème

Opera Queensland, in association with QPAC and Brisbane Festival, proudly presents La bohème – Puccini’s beloved masterpiece that has captivated audiences for generations.

Set against the backdrop of bohemian Paris, La bohème tells the poignant tale of love and loss among four young artists striving to live freely and creatively on the fringes of society. At the heart of this magical opera is the passionate romance between poet Rodolfo (Valerio Borgioni) and seamstress Mimì (Elena Perroni) – a tender and heartbreaking love story brought to life by Puccini’s powerful yet delicate scores. With a mix of joyful camaraderie, soaring passion and heart-wrenching tragedy, La bohème remains one of the most cherished operas ever composed.

Highlighted by some of the most iconic arias and duets in opera history, Opera Queensland’s dazzling rendition of La bohème – which is sung in Italian with English surtitles – promises an unforgettable experience for seasoned opera lovers and newcomers alike. Don’t miss the chance to be swept away by La bohème at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre from September 4–13.
