Love in the shadow of poverty: Puccini's "La Bohème" at TOBS! passionately tells of young dreamers, fleeting happiness and the fragility of life - a classic that touches every heart.

Christmas Eve in Paris: four young artist friends sit in an unheated attic with empty stomachs - poor, but full of wit and joie de vivre. That's when Rodolfo meets his neighbor Mimì, who suffers from lung disease. Only the instant love that flares up between them can warm their freezing hands. But for how long?

Puccini drew inspiration for his fourth opera from Henri Murger's serialized novel "Scènes de la vie de Bohème" and the play "Mademoiselle Mimi Pinson" by Alfred de Musset. The world premiere of "La Bohème" took place in Turin on February 1, 1896. On the podium: the young Arturo Toscanini. To this day, the touching story of love, friendship and hope in the face of death is one of the composer's most popular works and leaves no one indifferent ...

With "La Bohème", Spanish actress and director Lucía Astigarraga presents her first production at TOBS! The musical direction is in the proven hands of Yannis Pouspourikas.
