FREE Opera Film Screening: Giacomo Puccini's "La Bohème"

An opera in four scenes, Giacomo Puccini’s "La Bohème" draws on Henry Murger’s "Scenes of Bohemian Life" to tell the story of young artists living on the edge of poverty, hunger, and hope. Through the love between the poet Rodolfo and the fragile Mimì, Puccini gives us one of opera’s most moving portraits of youth, art, and heartbreak. In this Opéra national de Paris production, which is set in space in a distant future, director Claus Guth reimagines the drama in a hopeless future, where memory, love, and art become the characters’ final connection to life and transcendence.
