Got a killer date and want to impress? Why not take her to an opera? Don’t have a date? Why not meet someone at the opera? You can’t get much better than this story...
The writer, the lover, the artist, the flirt. A night out in Toronto and falling in love.
A set of bohemians take over Toronto in this new English translation of La bohème, a tale of love and tragedy, indulgence and excess. Against the Grain Theatre takes on this classic opera for it’s first production as Puccini’s La bohème is retold for contemporary Toronto with a talented, Canadian cast, orchestra and chorus.
