 Laboheme

La Bohéme

Thursday 27 February - Sunday 9 March 2013

'A powerful show... held the huge audience captive' Evening Standard

No opera can equal the captivating romance and heartfelt tragedy of Puccini's La Bohème.

With its real characters and powerful emotion, this story of doomed love gave Puccini full rein to unleash his most glorious music. From the rapturous grand-scale celebrations of café Momus to the tender intimacy of the artists’ garret, you will be drawn into the unfolding action where passion and spectacle mix with despair and ultimate tragedy.

Staged fully in-the-round, this production transforms the iconic Royal Albert Hall into 1940s Paris. The vibrant café society, the bitter cold of the police checkpoint and the harsh reality of the student’s stark surroundings, all beautifully depicted and brought to life in every detail by an award-winning creative team and a cast of internationally acclaimed performers.

Accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, La Bohème contains some of Puccini's finest music, including the deeply romantic scene at the end of Act One with Che gelida mainina, Si, Mi chiamano Mimi and Roldolfo and Mimi's tender love duet O soave fanciulla. Musetta’s Waltz, Colline’s Coat Song and Mimi’s Farewell are just some of the glorious moments which raise the dramatic intensity to such great heights.

La Bohème will be sung in Italian with English surtitles.

Packages include:

Canapés, cold and hot bowl food, with dessert canapés served at the interval
½ bottle of Mercier champagne, ½ bottle wine and ½ bottle Hildon mineral water per person
Service waiter in box
