Royal Opera presents New LA BOHÈME At River St Theatre In Jaffrey

London's Royal Opera House production of Puccini's opera masterpiece, LA BOHÈME will be shown in HD at the River Street Theatre (RST) in Jaffrey, NH on Sunday, November 19 and Wednesday, November 22. This presentation is part of the RST's Stage2Screen Series.

The Royal Opera's new production of Giacomo Puccini's classic opera (first performed in 1896) LA BOHÈME was relayed live to cinemas around the world on 3 October 2017. Richard Jones's production sees the director bring his characteristically acute insight to this much-loved classic, visualized in Stewart Laing's spectacular, stylized designs. LA BOHÈME features some of all opera's most romantic music. Conductor Antonio Pappano describes the opera as a masterpiece, and has likened Puccini's contribution to the art form as akin to Hitchcock's influence on film. The opera will be sung in Italian with English subtitles.

LA BOHÈME will be shown at the RST at 2pm on Sunday, November 19 and at 2pm on Wednesday, November 22. Tickets for this RST Stage2Screen presentation are $20.00 (students/teachers $15). Advance ticket purchases are encouraged due to the intimate nature of the RST theatre. The box office telephone number is (603) 532-8888 or go to riverst.org/calendar.

The River Street Theatre is sponsored by Grove Street Fiduciary, Coca-Cola, the Board of Trustees of the Park Theatre, Janet S. Grant, Betty Locke, Owen Houghton and the James F. & Fernande Kelly Charitable Trust.

The Park Theatre first opened in Jaffrey in 1922 and was the center of community life as a movie and vaudeville house for 54 years until it closed in 1976. Purchased by The Park Theatre, Inc. in 2006, it will be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art film and performing arts center, featuring two auditoriums seating 485, presenting movies, live theatre (including children's productions), concerts, and lectures as well as offering a place for business and community gatherings for the Monadnock Region and its 100,000 residents, school districts and dynamic artistic community. The new theatre is scheduled to be opened in 2018.

The Park Theatre operates the River Street Theatre (RST), a small live entertainment and movie venue located adjacent to the construction site as an interim theatre until the new Park Theatre opens. Opened in January of 2017, the RST holds the title of "smallest theatre in New England."
