PROGRAM
GIACOMO PUCCINI | La bohème

One of opera’s most beloved classics, Puccini’s La bohème explores the triumphs and tragedies of love in the lives of a group of bohemian friends. This classic tale of tragic romance is an immersive and poignant journey for both seasoned opera enthusiasts and those new to the art form. 

In this first-time collaboration, Opera Maine joins the Portland Symphony Orchestra in bringing Puccini’s lush melodies and emotionally charged arias to life. This staged concert opera features the orchestra on stage with the singers and chorus as the opera is performed start to finish with minimal staging and costumes. 

RUN TIME: approximately 2 hrs and 35 mins including intermission

ADULT and CHILD & STUDENT prices are available online for this event.
GROUP 10+ is available via phone & in-person only.
Ticket prices include a per ticket service fee, varying from $2 – $10.50 depending on ticket price.
