With its enchanting setting and spellbinding score, the world’s most popular opera is as timeless as it is heartbreaking. Franco Zeffirelli’s picture-perfect production brings 19th-century Paris to the Met stage as Puccini’s young friends and lovers navigate the joy and struggle of bohemian life. Soprano Juliana Grigoryan is the feeble seamstress Mimì, opposite tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the ardent poet Rodolfo. Keri-Lynn Wilson conducts the November 8 performance, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to cinemas worldwide.
Joining the distinguished cast are soprano Heidi Stober and baritone Lucas Meachem, who sing the roles of Musetta and Marcello, respectively. Baritone Sean Michael Plumb takes on Schaunard, bass Jongmin Park sings the role of Colline, and baritone Donald Maxwell portrays Benoit and Alcindoro.
The November 8 performance of La Bohème will mark the opera’s 1,415th performance at the Met and its fourth Live in HD transmission to cinemas worldwide. La Bohème is the most performed opera at the Met. The classic production by Franco Zeffirelli premiered on December 14, 1981.
