About this event

Puccini's classic tale of youth, beauty, passion and heartache gets a fresh look in this shimmering new production. Opera Australia brings the story to the stage in a snow-kissed Paris, where the romance and hardship of Bohemian life play out in full.

For anyone who has only heard the famous arias on the radio, this is a chance to see the whole thing unfold in the room. The emotional arc is the reason this opera keeps coming back, and it lands hardest when the staging does the heavy lifting.

Book early if you can. Southbank is the place to catch Opera Australia at its best, and a new production is always worth the trip.
