La bohème

What do Baz Luhrmann, RENT and the movie Moonstruck have in common? La bohème: Puccini’s most famous and beloved opera. Rodolfo and Mimì are poor, but they and their friends measure their lives in glasses of wine and love, which they have in abundance.  The only thing that can be stolen from them is time. Come see, hear and feel one of the great romantic stories.
