Review: OPERA À LA CARTE'S PRODUCTION OF LA BOHÈME at Tenth Avenue Arts Center In East Village

After all, Rodolfo (tenor Adam Caughey) and his three friends are starving artists, and bohème is a notable example of opera verismo.
Who knew? Turns out you can stage a memorable version of La bohème with underappreciated local singers and a modest budget.
