Puccini's "La Bohème" is undoubtedly one of the most watched operas in the world. This undisputed tearjerker, written by the brilliant Italian composer ("Madame Butterfly", "Tosca") in the last years of the 19th century, still touches the hearts of viewers. In the summer of 2024, it will be shown in a new staging at the famous Verona Arena di Verona amphitheater, where every evening - during the Opera Festival held since 1913 - over 20,000 spectators watch great performances. The huge stage under the summer open sky was transformed into a snow-covered 19th-century Paris, and the performance featured international stars. We will now see all this on the big screen.

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.
