Puccini’s La Boheme

Congratulations to Asmira Adams (Year 10, Skipper House) who will be performing in Puccini’s La Boheme with the Melbourne Opera from the 15 to 24 September at the Athenaeum.

Asmira will be performing alongside an outstanding cast in Puccini's romantic masterpiece. Considered the most popular opera in the world, this production by Melbourne Opera, features many of opera's most beloved arias and ensembles. The production transports the audience to the heart of 19th century Paris following the loves and losses of a group of young Bohemians.

Asmira had this to say about her experience:

‘In honour of the centenary of the beloved composer’s death, Melbourne Opera presents a newproduction of Puccini’s most popular and romantic opera La Bohème which I am very excitedand humbled to be taking part in. I have the amazing opportunity to be a part of the children’schorus where I play the role of a mischievous girl named Emma.

Last year I commenced my classical training with Carrie Barr. Past experiences and traininginclude being a part of Beginners On Stage, Y.A.B.C (Young Australian Broadway Chorus), Australian Girls Choir, and VOYCE (Victorian Opera Youth Chorus Ensemble). In 2023 I was alsoa part of Victorian Opera’s New Work Opera program which will be returning in these upcoming holidays, where it will be held at Montsalvat’.

Performances for La Bohemes will be at the Athenaeum Theatre from 15 to 24 September, see the link below to book your tickets.
