Opera Matinee
La Bohème, Puccini's passionate, timeless, and heartbreaking tale of love among young artists in Paris in the 19th century, owes its popularly to gorgeous arias, tender ensembles and luscious orchestration. This live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera is conducted by Marco Armiliato and features Joseph Calleja and Elena Stikhina as lovers Rudolfo and Mimi.
