Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.

It’s Christmas Eve in Paris, and a young poet meets the love of his life in La bohème, Puccini’s evergreen story of romance, friendship, and the struggle for survival among the starving artists of the Latin Quarter. Pamela Armstrong (Elvira in Don Giovanni 2001) and Frank Lopardo (Pinkerton in last season’s Madama Butterfly) headline as Mimì and Rodolfo, with David Adam Moore (who replaced Nathan Gunn in two performances of last season’s Billy Budd) as Marcello, and Rhoslyn Jones making her Pittsburgh Opera debut as Musetta. Kevin Glavin adds a comic spin as the landlord Benoit and as Musetta’s “protector,” Alcindoro. Antony Walker leads the magical production, designed by Tony-winner Michael Yeargan (for Light in the Piazza 2005) - late 19th-century Paris in its vigor and charm.

“Frank Lopardo showed effortless, virile, Italianate sound and seamless acting ability.”
- Cincinnati Enquirer

“For those who turn to the opera for grand spectacle, this production rewards with Michael Yeargan’s impressive sets.”
- Baltimore City Paper
