The Paris of love and art. A poet, a painter, a musician and a philosopher. Living hand to mouth in a freezing garret. Christmas cheer and a heart won by girl next door. The tragedies of love and poverty. Puccini’s best-loved opera is touching, comic, realistic and romantic, true for any time in which deep bonds can flower in the face of adversity.

Experience the power of Puccini’s sublime score in this new concert performance by Irish National opera, featuring celebrated Irish sopranos Celine Byrne and Anna Devin, in the roles of Mimì and Musetta.

“I’m so looking forward to performing the role of Mimì in La bohème with Irish National Opera. It is a dream role for me having made my debut in 2010 with this role in the Scottish Opera production. Since then I have performed it many times and due to the pandemic it was the last role I performed on stage to a live audience in America last January. I absolutely cannot wait to get performing again and to have that wonderful feeling of working with others and the adrenaline I get from it. I am so grateful to the Irish National Opera for this opportunity.” (Celine Byrne)
