The Lake Macquarie Philharmonic Orchestra & Opera Hunter Present Puccini’s Masterpiece La boheme
Puccini’s La boheme was written in 1893-95 based on the book Scenes of Bohemian Life by Henry Murger. It is a portrait of the lives of Embroiderer Mimi, and her artist friends, poet Rudolfo, artist Marcello, philosopher Colline, musician Schaunard, and singer Musetta. It soars with passion, sinks into despair, and ultimately triumphs as one of the greatest operas of all time.
Opera Hunter’s production will be directed by Stewart Mcgowan, conducted by Christopher Bearman OAM, and musically directed by Mercia Buck OAM featuring The Opera Hunter Chorus, and Childrens’ Chorus & The Lake Macquarie Philharmonic Orchestra. Venue is Warners Bay Theatre.
