Fife Opera performing La Bohème

Fife Opera is performing La Bohème at the Adam Smith Theatre, Kirkcaldy at 7.15pm on Friday 7 November and 2.15pm on Saturday 8 November. Click the image to visit the company’s Facebook page for an introduction to their stellar cast!

Composed by Giacomo Puccini, La Bohème is a timeless opera that beautifully captures the joys and sorrows of young love. Originally set in Paris in the 1830s, it follows a group of struggling artists, following on the passionate yet tragic romance between the poet Rodolfo and the delicate seamstress Mimi. With its poignant melodies and emotional depth, La Bohème explores themes of love, friendship, and the fragility of life, making it one of the most-beloved and frequently-performed operas in the world.

Tickets: Adults £20, Concessions £18, Children £8 from 01592 596094 or email ticketmanager@fifeopera.org.uk or via the Adam Smith box office. There is a 10% discount for groups of 10 or more.

Their Opera Christmas Concert — “a magical evening where timeless carols and soaring arias fill the air with warmth and wonder” – is on Friday 19 December. Details in due course on their website.
