Sydney: Tickets to Puccini's 'La Bohème' at the Sydney Opera House
Step into the allure of 1930s Berlin with tickets to ‘La Bohème’ at the Sydney Opera House. Here, under the glimmer of cafe lights and the shadow of smoky cabarets, a group of young artists wrestle with love, jealousy and loss. With Kang Wang’s soulful Rodolfo and Olivia Cranwell’s enchanting Mimi, Gale Edwards’ vivid production transforms Puccini’s classic into a visceral night of music and emotion, unfolding in one of the world’s most iconic settings.
