Michigan Opera Theater : La Boheme November 13, 2010

A bittersweet tragedy of young love, the opera centers around six penniless bohemian friends in snowy Paris surviving on very limited means. Full of idealism, beauty and unbridled love, they soon encounter the harsh realities of life. Imitations of Puccini's masterpiece are all around us, most notably the Broadway blockbuster music 'Rent' - but the gorgeous original is incomparable and never fails to pull at your heartstrings.
