A Parisian affair

Ellen Kent’s production of Puccini’s opera is coming to the Grand, Wolverhampton. ‘La Boheme’ is set in 19th century Paris and tells a tragic tale of the doomed consumptive Mimi and her love for a penniless writer.

This traditionally staged production features a set that reflects the Bohemian art of the period and includes a brass band, snow effects... and Muzetta’s dog will also make an appearance. Stars include Korean soprano Elena Dee in the iconic role of Mimi, and the international soprano Alyona Kistenyova.

Sung in Italian with English subtitles, this classic tale will feature famous arias including ‘Your Tiny Hand is Frozen’, ‘They Call Me Mimi’ and ‘Muzetta’s Waltz’. There will be a pre-show talk from 6.30pm to 7pm on Sunday 26 January. Tickets are £20. For more information contact the Box Office on 01902 429212 or visit grandtheatre.co.uk.
