This unforgettable story of passionate young artists remains one of the world’s most beloved operas, reminding us of the beauty and meaning in life’s fleeting moments of joy.

Based on Henry Murger’s 1851 novel Scènes de la vie de bohème, Puccini’s soaring arias tell the tender tale of Mimi and Rodolfo as they face the perils of poverty. A story that transcends time and place, its message of love through adversity resonates deeply with our community’s spirit. In its characters we see ourselves—the artists, the dreamers, and the everyday people, who face challenges but never lose sight of love and connection.

With the Portland Opera Orchestra, Chorus, and Children’s Chorus.

    My husband and I love to explore cultural activities. We have explored ballet, musical theater, and attended our first opera this summer we attended Falstaff. We went in with curiosity and thoroughly enjoyed this interpretation of the Merry Wives of Windsor!

  23. Paul Ryan on October 28, 2025 at 1:08 pm

    This is my favorite opera! I was even a part of it when I was a child singer. We got to all run around a be pesky kids during the cafe scene. Now that I’m older, I can still remember the words and music of my part now 40 years later.

  24. Karine on October 28, 2025 at 1:11 pm

    this would be fun!

  25. C on October 28, 2025 at 1:17 pm

    My friend and I both learned to love opera from the elders we adored. It would be a joy to experience this together.

  26. Jenifer on October 28, 2025 at 1:57 pm

    The second I read the title of the opera I started singing it in my head. My son commented a few days ago that he wants to go to the opera because it’s been several years.

  27. Dee on October 28, 2025 at 2:36 pm

    This would be incredible to go to

  28. Charlie on October 28, 2025 at 3:10 pm

    La Bohème serait une première expérience à l’opéra magnifique.

  38. Danielle C on October 28, 2025 at 8:49 pm

    What an amazing opportunity! This would be my first experience with opera, and La Bohème sounds like the perfect introduction as it is timeless, emotional, and truly transcendent.

    Would totally love to attend!

    • Maggie on October 30, 2025 at 3:38 pm

      La Boheme is probably one of my favorite Puccini operas … not to mention the fact that the wildly popular Broadway musical, “Rent,”
      is an adaption of “La Boheme.” This opera also inspired the movie, “Moulin Rouge.”

      La Boheme is so apropos in today’s world with all the challenges we are all now facing, knowing love and connection always helps us get through some of these challenges.

      Would love to attend Puccini’s Opera in one of my favorite venues, “The Keller Auditorium,”
      where’s there’s not a bad seat in the house. Thank you for the opportunity!!

  43. Chris on October 30, 2025 at 3:26 pm

    Would love to take my wife!

  44. Cory Shird on October 30, 2025 at 6:07 pm

  48. David on October 30, 2025 at 11:01 pm

    I’ve been to a lot of events… but never the opera! Help me try out something different!

  49. Timothy on October 31, 2025 at 10:16 am

    A delightful evening out with my wife at an incredible show. Given all her dedicated efforts for the church and the community, I truly believe this would be a well-deserved night off for her—a chance to unwind and enjoy some much-needed relaxation.

  50. C P on October 31, 2025 at 8:12 pm

    I’ve never seen La Boheme live, it would be amazing

  60. Trish on November 6, 2025 at 5:34 pm

    La Bohème is one of the most beautiful scores ever written. Seeing it live would be like stepping into another world for a few hours.

  61. Amanda Amador on November 7, 2025 at 8:44 am

    I’d love to take my mama for her 66th birthday (11/28). Good luck to everyone!
