La Boheme Tickets

London Coliseum

Jonathan Miller’s iconic 1930s-set production of Puccini’s tragic opera returns to London, performed by the English National Opera.

La Boheme Tickets: The Iconic Opera Returns

Get carried away by passion and doomed romance as Jonathan Miller’s “captivating” (The Stage) production of La Boheme returns to the London Coliseum by popular demand. Puccini’s tragic opera is one of the most popular in the canon. In this acclaimed staging, some of the composer’s most vivid music, matched with Miller’s sweeping vision, promises an evening of intensity and incredible performance.

About La Boheme

Inspired by Henri Murger’s novel Scènes de la vie de bohème (1851), this popular opera wins over audiences again and again with its simple but touching love story. Young Parisian couple Mimì and Rodolfo live a humble life in the bohemian Latin Quarter of the city, where artists rub shoulders. What they lack in material possessions and money, they make up for with their affection for each other. But when Mimì is struck down by a sudden illness, Rodolfo is faced with a terrible choice that might tear them apart.

Puccini’s La Boheme is one of opera’s most famous works, performed across the world to standing ovations. To anyone new to the genre, the plot may seem familiar; it famously inspired the musical Rent and its themes are woven through Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge.

Jonathan Miller’s La Boheme - Creative Team

Jonathan Miller’s now-classic production moves the story from the 1840s to the 1930s, and draws inspiration from Brassaid’s photographs of Paris and its people from the period. Guiding audiences into the side streets and bustling thoroughfares outside of its most famous landmarks, the city is a thrilling character of its own.

Miller marries his creative flair with Puccini’s masterful and melodic score, including “Musetta’s Waltz” - drawing us along the doomed couple’s journey, from their first meeting to their final declarations.

For the English National Opera, the show is directed by Crispin Lord and conducted by Italian pianist-conductor, Clelia Cafiero, in her ENO and UK Opera debut.

We had an understudy for Mimi as Nadine Benjamin was poorly. However, this did not take anything away from a splendid revival of Miller's production. The sets are great, the singing very good across all the main characters and the chorus was great fu Read more
