Join the New York City Alumni Chapter for an evening at the Metropolitan Opera to delight in the world’s most popular opera, La Bohème. This passionate, timeless, and indelible story of love among young artists in Paris, has a marvelous ability to make a powerful first impression and to reveal unsuspected treasures after dozens of hearings. At first glance, La Bohème is the definitive depiction of the joys and sorrows of love and loss; on closer inspection, it reveals the deep emotional significance hidden in the trivial things—a bonnet, an old overcoat, a chance meeting with a neighbor—that make up our everyday lives.
Franco Zeffirelli’s classic production features a series of exciting casts. Angel Blue, Anita Hartig and Sonya Yoncheva share the role of the fragile Mimi, with Dymtro Popov, Russel Thomas and Michael Fabiano alternating as the poet Rodolfo. Alexander Soddy and Marco Armiliato share conducting duties.
The annual NYC Alumni Chapter outing to the Met is one of its most popular events and sells out quickly every year. Looking to purchase as a holiday gift? Get your tickets today!
