The Toledo Opera opens it’s curtains on a new season with La Bohéme, the ever popular opera classic by Giacomo Puccini on Friday, October 5. If you haven’t experienced opera this is the show to see with four acts steeped in realism, but the grandeur of the production is a fantastical theatrical experience. Premiering in 1896, La Bohéme is one of the most frequently performed operas and is a part of many production companies’ repertoire. The story follows two 19th century Parisian couples, Mimi & Rodolfo and Musetta & Marcello, as they labor over the toil everyday life puts on love. They battle illness, jealousy and poverty while trying to maintain Bohemian ideals.
Friday, October 5, 8pm & Sunday, October 7, 2pm. $30-$75. Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St. 419-242-3490. www.toledoopera.org —JG
