The Royal Opera - Giacomo Puccini: La boh�me

Sonya Yoncheva and Charles Castronovo lead an award-winning cast in Richard Jones�s acclaimed production of Puccini�s most heartrending opera. Emmanuel Villaume conducts the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus in some of the composer�s most luscious and memorable music.Spectacular designs by Stewart Laing for this Royal Opera production set the passion, friendship, comedy and tragedy in late 19th-century Paris. The production evokes the vulnerability of youth amid the harshness and glamour of the big city, and contrasts the poverty of the bohemians�s attic home with the splendour of Paris�s shopping arcades on Christmas Eve.
