La boheme

Musicals Classical Opera

What’s Happening?

Following last season’s traditional production of Puccini’s La bohème, in the Atlanta Opera Discoveries series presents a brand-new, immersive production. Produced by Carl W. Knobloch, Jr. General & Artistic Director Tomer Zvulun with Ukrainian-Israeli American designer, director, and multimedia artist Vita Tzykun, a modern-day La bohème – with the COVID-19 pandemic in place of tuberculosis brings the classic opera's beautiful music and compelling story to our own time. Performed at Atlanta’s Pullman Yards, with the action taking place in and around the seated audience, the production will feature a breakthrough young cast starring tenor Kameron Lopreore as Rodolfo and Amanda Baptiste as Mimi. Zvulun explains:

La bohème is such a romantic, sweeping opera that we sometimes forget that the story is about the impact on a whole generation of a devastating pandemic, in this case, tuberculosis, which ravaged the world in the 19th century. Our own generation has been forever altered by the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact will be with us for many years to come. In 2024, The Atlanta Opera launched an experimental program that we named the “Bohème Project,” using that timeless story to reflect on three pandemics: tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19. Last season’s traditional presentation of La bohème was part of our Mainstage series. In the fall, we return to the historic space of Pullman Yards to present immersive, groundbreaking productions of Rent and a brand-new adaptation of La bohème as part of our Discoveries series.”

Both La bohème will be sung in Italian with English supertitles. A video of Zvulun discussing “The Bohème Project” can be found here.

Tickets for La bohème start at $30 and are available by calling The Atlanta Opera ticket office at 404-881-8885 or online at AtlantaOpera.org.
