Seattle Opera presents La bohème, May 8-23, 2027.

Young artists in Paris fall in love and fall ill, but never fall in line. Living exclusively for art and love can take a toll on a person, however, and sometimes the price of living the Bohemian life is higher than just owed rent. This timeless tale of idealistic youth and heartbreaking loss has captured hearts for more than a hundred years, and Puccini’s iconic score makes it easy to fall in love alongside Mimì and Rodolfo.
