Burnaby Lyric Opera’s La Bohème (2016).

Shadbolt Centre for the Arts presents Burnaby Lyric Opera’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème from April 6 to 13 with showtimes at 2 pm and 7:30 pm.

La Bohème is a beloved classic opera and one of the brightest stars in Puccini’s repertoire. This musical masterpiece tells a tale of love, loss, deception, and heartbreak through glorious compositions sung in Italian. It stands the test of time as one of the most popular operas ever performed, and comes to life again with Burnaby Lyric Opera’s production team and B.C. operatic talents.

The story centres around a poor seamstress, Mimi, and her poet lover Rodolfo. They live in a dank Parisian garret amid a group of bohemian friends which include painter Marcello and his lover, Musetta. Amid an underlyingly foreboding atmosphere, constant flirtation and jealousy within the group culminates in Mimi’s death.

Tickets are available at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
