Puccini’s tragic story of doomed love among the impoverished young bohemians of late 19th century Paris is moved to a seaside town on the south coast of England, where four young men are living the youthful dream, yearning for love and not working too hard.

Their flat is run down, they’re content to live on take-aways, they complain when they run out of money and have perfected the art of dodging the landlord. Their lives are filled with trips to the pub, late night dancing and girls … until Mimi knocks on the door.

Rodolfo opens the door, eyes and hands meet and a passionate affair begins. The story follows the cash-strapped lovers as their relationship unfolds, from its joyous beginnings to the bitter end on a chilly promenade. This new contemporary production of Puccini’s thrilling, passionate love story captures the raw, consuming power of young love, performed in Opera Holloway’s intimate and immediate style.
