Experience the original bohemian love story that inspired Rent and Moulin Rouge when Puccini’s beloved La Bohème graces venues across Victoria in July and August, before a tour that continues with performances across New South Wales, and Tasmania in 2024 – kicking off at Dandenong’s Drum Theatre.
When Mimi meets Rodolfo, it’s love at first touch. They head out to bustling Café Momus, where the feisty Musetta and Marcello rekindle their relationship.
For our bohemians, everything is possible and the future can’t come quickly enough. Rodolfo and his friends are determined to make their mark on the world and experience everything it has to offer – but right now they’d settle for something warm to eat.
Some emotions are too big for words alone, and for that, we have music. La Boheme exposes your soul to the feelings that only music can express.
Puccini’s score has always captured the soaring spirit of young love and this new production breathes fresh life into one of the world’s favourite operas.
Award-winning director Dean Bryant (Anything Goes, Sweet Charity) brings his trademark wit and vivacity to this new staging, which captures that giddy moment where you and your friends feel you’ll live forever.
