Bass Colin Ramsey, last heard as Marullo in 2019’s “Rigoletto,” returns to sing the role of Colline.
Baritone Robert Mellon makes his Company debut as Schaunard and stalwart bass baritone Scott Sikon sings the roles of Benoit and Alcindoro. Also making Company debuts for these performances are soprano Andrea Carroll (Musetta) and baritone Alexander Elliot (Marcello). She is joined by tenor Joshua Guerrero as the poet Rodolfo in his main stage San Diego Opera debut. “La bohème” marks the welcome return of soprano Angel Blue in the role of Mimì, a role she has sung on the world’s biggest stages, including the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera and English National Opera. The poet Rodolfo is writing his “Bohemian Stories,” and as he writes, his memories of the events of the opera come to life around him, enabling singers to share the stage while keeping safe distances. To tackle these challenges, director Keturah Stickann has placed the action in Rodolfo’s study sometime after the death of Mimì, which occurs at the end of the opera. Tickets for “La bohème” begin at $200 per car, with a limited number of premium parking spaces at $300.įor the safety of the performers, they will not sing within 15 feet of each other and will maintain 120 square feet of space around them. Guests are allowed to bring as many passengers as their car has seat belts and can bring in their own food and beverage. Patrons will remain in their cars for the duration and will listen to the opera through their car stereo.

Native Knowledge: Many people know that “La bohème” was the inspiration for the musical “Rent,” but “La bohème” itself was inspired by a series of stories called “Scènes de la vie de bohème” (Scenes of Bohemian Life). Musical cuts will bring the opera close to 90 minutes. Sung in Italian with projected English translations, “La bohème” tells the story of young friends in Paris and the poet Rodolfo’s love affair with the sick and ailing seamstress Mimì.
