Event Description:
When a candle flickers, love sparks.
In her tiny room that Christmas Eve, a candle provided the only light—until the flame died. Resigned, she knocked on the door to another apartment, hoping for a match from a neighbor. Instead, Mimì discovered the love of her life.
For more than a century, Puccini’s most celebrated opera has moved audiences to both laughter and tears with its irresistible music and timeless tale. Our “immensely moving” (The Guardian) co-production with English National Opera, originally directed by the legendary Jonathan Miller, transports the story of penniless young lovers in Paris to the 1930s, as captured in the work of iconic photographers Brassaï and Cartier-Bresson. Louis Langrée, music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, will bring Puccini's colorful score to life in his Cincinnati Opera debut, leading his own orchestra in the pit.
