"La Bohème" 65% off discount tickets and Cast Q&A

Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa
OCTOBER 18, 21, 24, 26, 2025 at the Benedum

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to experience classic Italian opera?

Set against the backdrop of bohemian Paris, La Bohème follows four impoverished artists surviving with little more than friendship, passion, and their love for art.

When Rodolfo, a poet, and Mimì, a young seamstress, meet, the two are drawn into a tumultuous and passionate affair with a love that can only be broken by death.

La Bohème will make you laugh, and bring you to tears, with its timeless story and captivating music.

Emotional and dramatic, it’s no wonder Puccini’s most celebrated opera has transcended the genre, inspiring both a ballet and the Broadway hit musical RENT.

When a candle flickers, love sparks.

Antony Walker conducts. Kristine McIntyre directs.

Music Director Antony Walker conducts.

Understand Every Word: La Bohème is sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage at all performances.

AFTER-SHOW Cast Q&A Discussion After the show, please feel free to go downstairs in the Benedum Lower Lobby where cast members will discuss their experiences along with some insight about their training, other performances they've been doing around the world, their fun experiences while visiting Pittsburgh, etc. These cast Q&A discussions are often very funny and engaging.
