For Austin Opera’s final production of the 2018-2019 season, you’ll take a trip to Paris for one of the most enduring operas of all time, Giacomo Puccini’s tragic, love-story masterpiece, La bohème. With a setting in the Latin Quarter of Paris, Puccini’s timeless story of the struggling yet happy bohemians Mimi, Rodolfo, Musetta, Marcello, Colline and Schaunard is set against some of the most memorable and powerful music in all of opera.

He leads the Austin Opera Orchestra and the cast, featuring Kang Wang as Rodolfo, Elizabeth Caballero as Mimi, Noel Bouley as Marcello, Susannah Biller as Musetta, Ashraf Sewailam as Colline, and Andrew Lovato as Schaunard.
