Puccini: La Boheme

Carl St.Clair enjoys a stellar reputation as an opera conductor in Europe. Now he showcases that talent as Pacific Symphony presents one of Puccini's most popular and heartbreaking operas, "La bohème," in a semi-staged production. Carefree Bohemians and star-struck lovers — penniless, hungry and ill — will fill the concert hall with their astonishing voices as Puccini's sad tale unfolds.
