Jonathan Miller makes an eagerly awaited return to ENO to direct a new production of La bohème. In over thirty years of working with the Company, his productions — including The Mikado and The Barber of Seville — have become House classics. Setting the action in 1930s Paris, Miller’s La bohème will seek to emphasise the naturalism and psychological truth of Puccini’s tragic masterpiece.
One of our brightest young opera stars, Alfie Boe, takes the role of the struggling artist Rodolfo. Talented new soprano, Melody Moore, is his tragic lover Mimí. Miguel Harth-Bedoya, who is gaining an international reputation as one of the most exciting conductors of his generation, makes his Company debut with this passionate and unforgettable score.
CAST
Mimì Melody Moore; Rodolfo Alfie Boe; Marcello Roland Wood; Musetta Hanan Alattar; Colline Pauls Putninš; Schaunard David Stout; Benoit To be announced; Alcindoro Richard Angas
Please note, the La Boheme performance on the 2nd February will be broadcast live on SKY Arts TV.

About The Coliseum
Until the recent restoration project, no substantial programme of repair has been carried out on this historic London landmark since it first opened its doors in 1904. The London Coliseum, which is London’s largest theatre, is cited as being architect Frank Matcham’s crowning achievement. In its 100 year history it has played host to many forms of entertainment, including horse races, musicals, variety, cinema and, since 1968, opera.
