La Bohème: Puccini’s best-known and most beloved opera: love and fate portrayed through enchanting, and at times unsettling, musical artistry.

A group of Parisian friends clings to their artistic freedom despite poverty. It is here that intense romantic relationships blossom, such as that between the poet Rodolfo and the milliner Mimì. Unfortunately, in the daily struggle for survival, love and tragedy are all too closely intertwined.

Peter Konwitschny’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s opera »La Bohème« now enjoys cult status and has been a permanent fixture in our repertoire since its premiere in 1991. The star director brings the story of the longing for love and warmth in the biting winter cold to the stage without any kitsch or pathos. An honest directorial approach that continues to captivate audiences just as much as it did on its first night, even after more than 100 performances.
