Minnesota Opera - La Boheme

Teach Us To Love

Don't miss Minnesota Opera's production of Puccini's timeless masterpiece of four young bohemians living and loving on the streets of 1840s Paris. One of the repertoires most beloved tales, La Boheme is a tribute to young love and friendship, laughter and wine that will lift your senses and awaken your creativity, before breaking your heart in classic opera style.

Who are the bohemians?

Since the nineteenth Century, people have been referring to bohemians, who were usually artists, musicians and writers who lived life for the experience (and the absinthe.) The characters of La Boheme are just like that, down on luck and rent, but high on love and life. There's scholarly poetry Roldofo and delicate Mimi, an everlasting couple for whom struggle often gets in the middle, and Muschetta and Marcello, the outrageous, flirtatious ones who always seem to find their way back to each other.
