Set in Paris in the 1830's among a group of impoverished Bohemians, the opera centres around the tragic love affair between the seamstress, Mimi, and Rodolfo, a poet.  Frivolity, joy, tenderness and sorrow are all expressed in the wonderful music of this most treasured of operas.  La Boheme is a masterpiece and is arguably Puccini's finest score.

Special Arrangements:

During the 75 minute interval the audience may dine in the Festival Restaurant situated in Aldborough Village Hall, immediately adjacent to the Church.  Alternatively guests may picnic within the churchyard or within the grounds of Aldborough Manor.  In the event of inclement weather a marquee will be available for picnicing.  Guests may bring their own picnic.
