"La boheme" by Giacomo Puccini. Teatro alla Scala production.

The Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago presents an exclusive screening of the Italian opera La boheme by Giacomo Puccini, presented at Teatro alla Scala in Milano during the 2022/2023 lyric season.

On the centennial of the birth of Franco Zeffirelli, to whom the Museo Teatrale dedicated an exhibition, Teatro alla Scala again proposed his classic production of La boheme, a piece of history of the theatre staged for the first time in 1963 with Karajan conducting and since then reprised regularly, now a vital element in the identity of Teatro alla Scala. Wielding the baton will be Eun Sum Kim, the youthful permanent conductor of the San Francisco Opera, while Marina Rebeka sings as Mimi alongside Freddie De Tommaso as Rodolfo.
