Opera Si! La Bohemia - La Bohème, an opera by Giacomo Puccini with libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa

Opera Si! La Bohemia is Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème set in 1960s Malaysia, where Malaya’s film industry is flourishing and young artists explore new ideals and outlook towards life. Rodolfo, a young writer falls in love with a seamstress, Mimi who suffers an acute illness and together with their likeminded friends, Marcello, Musetta, Schaunard and Colline,  challenge life with gusto and hope. Living each day like there is no tomorrow. 

A story of the resilience which transcend across culture and time.
