La Bohème Puccini

In Detroit Opera's visionary La bohème, The Wanderer (portrayed by Detroit's own George Shirley) asks us to reconsider the intertwined fates of the young boh...

Yuval Sharon, Detroit Opera's Gary L. Wasserman Artistic Director, gives us peek behind the curtain of his production of La bohème. Sharon takes Puccini's classic and flips the script, quite literally!

How do we go from tragedy to hope? From death to life? From loneliness to love? In this visionary treatment of Puccini’s masterpiece La bohème, BLO does just that — by presenting the opera in reverse order. From finish to start, from death to the promise of new love, from loneliness and despair to the joy of friendships, wine, and song, this reversal presents the characters and arias we love in a refreshing, new vision of the story. Our favorite starving young artists and lovers survive to live another day.
