Merredin - La Boheme
For a truly memorable experience don’t miss this wonderful, relaxed performance of Puccini’s sublime opera, La Boheme at Merredin's Cummins Theatre.
The Bohemians are an idealistic, penniless bunch intent on enjoying the festive season which is the context for this story. Tribulations, celebrations and the troubled triangle of Musetta, Marcello and Alcindoro provide a counterpoint to the genuine and profound love between Rodolfo and Mimi. Love’s greatest enemy, misunderstanding, threatens to sabotage their union; and ultimately their destiny, as everyone knows, is a tragic one.
Puccini’s brilliant music, presented here by a talented Chamber Orchestra conducted by Musical Director, Brian Chatterton, amplifies the drama, and, so long as we believe in these characters, this story inevitably touches our most fundamental human emotions.
Experienced choreographer/director Nick Carroll always aims to entertain, and with its blend of humour, romance and tragedy, La Boheme is fertile material for a complete theatrical experience.
