From death to life? From loneliness to love? In this visionary treatment of Puccini's masterpiece La bohème, BLO does just that - by presenting the opera in reverse order. From finish to start, from death to the promise of new love, from loneliness and despair to the joy of friendships, wine, and song, this reversal presents the characters and arias we love in a refreshing, new vision of the story. Our favorite starving young artists and lovers survive to live another day.Approximate running time: 100 minutesSung in Italian with English surtitles.Pre-Show Lecture: Join us one hour before curtain for a pre-show lecture from James Myers to learn more about the history of La bohème and more about our new production.Opening Night Celebration: Join the cast and crew of La bohème to toast a spectacular performance on Friday, September 23, 2022.
