Irish National Opera presents La bohème – 20, 22, 23, 25 and 26 November 2023

The Paris of love and art. A poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher. Living hand to mouth in a freezing garret. Christmas cheer and a heart won by the girl next door. The tragedies of love and poverty.

Puccini’s best-loved opera is touching, comic, realistic and romantic, true for any time in which deep bonds can flower in the face of adversity.

Running time 2 hours and 15 minutes including interval.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
