Fort Worth Opera - La Boheme

Love And Loss

Witness the passion and heartbreak of Puccini's renowned tragic opera, La Boheme, as it comes to life in a wonderful rendition by Fort Worth Opera! This partially-staged version features the orchestra taking center-stage and the vocalists masterfully bringing life to the tale without the use of traditional set design, but still performing in full costume with the addition of effects and props. The evocative masterpiece is a classic, weaving Puccini's magnificent music to the rollercoaster of the human experience from love to loss, euphoria to sorrow!

What is the story?

The story chronicles the lives and loves of a spirited but destitute collective of artists, philosophers, and musicians. When the poet Rodolfo is entreated by Mimi, his beautiful and delicate neighbor to help her light her last candle, he loses his heart immediately. He and Mimi embark on a dizzying relationship that captures the whole scope of Bohemian life, from raucous parties at various watering holes to spirited fights with their landlord. The ultimate paean to love, life and art set to a lushly romantic and heartbreaking score.
