Ho-Yoon Chung is Rodolfo, the lovestruck poet who falls in love with Mimì at first sight. Iulia Maria Dan stars as Mimì, our tragic heroine. Puccini’s beautiful music adds so much more to the story, inspiring and heartbreaking with every note. La Bohème is one of the most performed operas around the world every year, inspiring adaptations as diverse as Rent: The Musical and Baz Luhrmann’s award-winning film Moulin Rouge. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge in the same frame as the Eiffel Tower, with brilliant fireworks illuminating this stunning scene. And that makes it an ageless opera that will never cease to be relevant, no matter where or when it is set. We love Puccini’s Bohemians with all their flaws because we appreciate what it is to be young and to know only infinite potential, untrammelled by responsibilities or anything as mundane as 'the future'. In this heady atmosphere, Puccini’s beloved tale takes on a timeless quality.
