La Boheme - Giacomo Puccini
presented by Co-opera
Sunday 12 September 2010
Denmark Civic Centre
Denmark Audiences are in for a very special treat. South Australias opera touring company Co-Opera is visiting Denmark to present a full length performance of Giacomo Puccini's opera La Boheme, acompanied by a chamber orchestra.
The Bohemians are an idealistic, penniless bunch intent on enjoying the festive season. Tribulations, celebrations and a troubled love triangle provide a counterpoint to the genuine and profound love between Rodolpho and Mimi. Although they transcend love's enemy, misunderstanding, their destiny is ultimately a tragic one. Puccini's poignant music amlpfies the drama, and, so long as we believe in the characters, their journey inevitably touches our most fundamental emotions.
In the best traditions of Co-Opera, this production of La Boheme, set in no specific era, seeks that romantic essence which has made it one of the most widely performed and loved opreas.
Experienced choreographer Nick Carroll always aims to entertain, and with its blend of humor, romance and tragedy, La Boheme is fertile material for a complete opratic experience.
The production will be accompamied by a chamber orchestra.
