Review: LA BOHEME at Lyric Opera Of Chicago
by Tina St. Angelo Wetzel - Mar 17, 2025

What did our critic think of LA BOHEME at Lyric Opera Of Chicago? Giacomo Puccini’s heartbreaking La Boheme is playing for 10 performances at the Lyric. Bring a handkerchief. Director Melanie Bacaling, in her Lyric directorial debut, has given this production an emotional feel which is the heart of this opera. The set, by Gerald Howland in his Lyric debut, brings the audience to 19th century Paris.
