La bohème

TO BE YOUNG AND IN LOVE AND IN PARIS…

Hungry, cold, broke, and deliriously in love, the artists in Puccini’s masterpiece break our hearts over and over again each time it is performed, our pulses quickening as Rodolfo lights Mimì’s candle anew. The Dallas Opera’s treasured period production returns with a fresh cast of some of opera’s brightest rising stars, transporting us to the cafés and corridors of Paris’s Latin Quarter as tragedy hovers nearby.

In their Dallas Opera debuts, Uzbekistan-born tenor Bekhzod Davronov sings Rodolfo and American lyric soprano Sylvia D’Eramo is Mimì. Japanese baritone Takaoki Ōnishi is Marcello, and the magnetic Musetta is sung by American soprano Emily Pogorelc.

“[Davronov was] an outstanding Rodolfo…utterly heartbreaking.” — The Guardian

“D’Eramo…appears on stage in a burst of energy…an attention grabber, not only for her histrionics, but also the brilliance of her soprano.” — New York Classical Review
