La bohème at The National Theatre

Four young Montmartre artists live through love affairs and breakups. Rain-or-shine friends, perennially skint yet happy, live life to the full. Until, that is, death arrives, death all the more tragic in that it takes the girlfriend of one of them. Yet the four Parisian artists’ bonds are eternal. That is how Giacomo Puccini sees it in his renowned opera La bohème, as does Ondřej Havelka, the director of the State Opera production.
