Central Coast Opera presents Puccini’s much-loved opera
La Bohème performed in English Translation by Amanda Holden By far the most ambitious opera project produced by the Central Coast Conservatorium under the banner of Central Coast Opera. Be swept up in the mastery of lush duets, rowdy crowd scenes, and comical catfights taking place under the streetlights of Paris in 1945. Watch a tender love affair unfold under gently falling snow. Director Warwick Doddrell has set this timeless love story in post war Paris in 1945. He delicately explores the concepts of love, in a world focused on commercialism, set to the backdrop of one of the world’s most romantic cities embarking on a journey of rediscovery. |
