    Opera in the Heights is unique in Houston, because it makes classical opera come alive for everyone—from the opera devotee to the novice. Here, excellence is the essential and the productions are high-energy events in an intimate and unintimidating setting. This is opera for everybody.

    March 26  through April 10, Opera in the Heights presents La Boheme, by Giacomo Puccini. Who doesn’t love opera’s most famous lovers? Mimi and Rodolfo, the most popular work ever… at the end, Puccini doesn’t leave a dry eye in the house.

    La bohème is an opera in four acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, based on Scènes de la vie de bohème by Henri Murger. The world première performance of La bohème was in Turin on February 1, 1896 at the Teatro Regio (now the Teatro Regio di Torino) and conducted by the young Arturo Toscanini. Since then La bohème has become part of the standard Italian opera repertory and is one of the most frequently performed operas internationally. According to Opera America, it is the second most frequently performed opera in the United States, just behind another Puccini opera, Madama Butterfly.
