Opera on the Mall: La bohème

Pack your picnics and blankets – Opera Philadelphia’s recent revival of La bohème is coming to Independence Mall. 

Puccini’s romantic blockbuster captivated audiences when it returned to the Academy of Music stage last spring, with critics calling Opera Philadelphia's La bohème a true homage to the classic” (Broadway World) and “overwhelmingly beautiful” (6ABC). With the singers “among the best Bohemians encountered” (Bachtrack) and “one of the strongest quartets ever heard in this piece” (Broad Street Review).  

Now, opera lovers who missed its return at the Academy of Music, or can’t wait to see it again, will have one more chance to see this beloved masterpiece on Saturday, September 14, at 7:00 p.m., as part of Opera Philadelphia’s 9th annual Opera on the Mall at Independence National Historical Park.
