La Boheme at the Civic Theatre


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 11/03/2024
The first opera San Diego Opera produced, this beloved masterwork follows the lives of a group of struggling artists, including the poet Rodolfo and the seamstress Mimì, as they navigate love, friendship, and hardship in 19th-century Paris. Full of some of the greatest melodies and arias Puccini ever composed, the production is inspired by San Diego Opera’s acclaimed 2020 drive-in La bohème centered in Rodolfo’s memory of an unforgettable romance.
