La Boheme at Royal Theatre

Pacific Opera Victoria presents Puccini’s La Bohème, a bittersweet tale of young, impoverished artists experiencing friendship, love and loss.

The opera is a portrayal of the Bohemian life – la vie de Bohème – a free-spirited, romantic counterculture of starving artists in freezing garrets, meeting life with camaraderie, bravado, love, and heartbreak.

This original production, featuring internationally acclaimed artists Lucia Cesaroni, Jason Slayden, Sharleen Joynt and Brett Polegato, is set in Paris in the early 1950s.

La Bohème is performed at the Royal Theatre, 805 Broughton Street, Victoria, BC, February 15, 17, 23, 2018, at 8 pm, Wednesday, February 21, at 7 pm and Sunday, February 25, at 2:30 pm. Pre-performance lectures take place in the theatre lobby one hour prior to each show. The opera is performed in Italian, with English surtitles, and the approximate running time is 2 hours and 20 minutes, plus one intermission.

Priced between $25 and $140, including GST & box office service charges, tickets are available from the Royal and McPherson Box Office at 250-386-6121, or online at www.rmts.bc.ca.
