Fitzroy Square Opera presents
La bohème
by Puccini
ROMANCE • JOIE DE VIVRE • HEARTBREAK
Sung in English & performed by The Garden Opera Company
Fitzroy Square Gardens, London W1
Thursday 28 June 2012 at 7.30pm
The Garden Opera Company returns to Fitzroy Square for the sixth time to transform this central London square into an oasis in the middle of Fitzrovia. The garden will be dressed with uplighting and flares and the performance will be relayed to visitors passing through the outside of the square.
Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème is one of the world’s most popular and captivating operas. With its emotionally charged story of two star-crossed lovers interlaced with humour and drama, and some of Puccini’s most ravishingly beautiful music, La bohème never fails to enthral its audience.
Directed by Martin Lloyd-Evans, with costumes designed by Dulcie Best and a 1940s Parisian set designed by Neil Irish, the opera brings into focus the fragility of young hearts entangled in a struggle for life and love amidst the harsh realities of Bohemian life. Sung in Amanda Holden’s renowned English translation by a company of talented young professionals, Garden Opera’s singers and chamber musicians take you on a journey of romance, joie de vivre and heartbreak.
Opera picnics will be provided by La Fromagerie in Marylebone at a cost of £22 (£20 if booked in advance).
