CBSO - Puccini’s 150th: La Bohème

Already acclaimed the world over for his opera performances, Music Director Andris Nelsons celebrates Puccini’s 150th birthday this autumn with concert performances of the passionate love story that has become the best-loved of all the composer’s operas. Set among the penniless students of Paris’s Bohemian Quarter, this tender tale of the seamstress Mimi and aspiring poet Rodolfo is one of the great operatic tearjerkers, and inspired, among other things, the musical
Rent and the movie Moulin Rouge. A terrific young cast joins the CBSO and Choruses for what will surely be one of the must-see events in Birmingham this year.

We are sorry to announce that Markus Brück (due to ill health) and Kostas Smoriginas have had to withdraw from the performances. We are very grateful to Mario Cassi for taking Markus Brück’s place as Marcello and George Mosley for taking Kostas Smoriginas’ place as Schaunard at very short notice.

£9.50, £13.50, £17, £20.50, £23.50, £28, £32, £37, £39.50
