La Vie Bohéme        Sat. – June 23

Remai Arts Centre

It’s a story of struggle, of tragedy and love and it’s all taking musical form starting this weekend. Saskatoon Opera’s latest production is a modern twist on Puccini’s classic La Bohéme. If you’re not familiar with the opera, you may be more in tune with the more modern musical Rent which is based on the classic tale. The story follows two lovers Rodolfo and Mimi as they fall for each other and then, through hard times, separate only to find true love as one of them faces death. The story is also one of friendship as this group of poor artists struggle to stay afloat and celebrate life. The cast features many local artists. This piece is sung in Italian but there are English surtitles to help you follow along. Tickets are going quickly and run $50 – $70.
