The long-anticipated return of Giacomo Puccini's lush, romantic masterpiece to the MN Opera, happens this Friday, March 6th. And to kick off Bohemian season, the Opera is hosting some great celebrations and educational opportunities, like Bohemian Lifestyle for Rent TONIGHT (5:30-7 pm) at the Loring Pasta Bar in Dinkytown, Minneapolis. IT IS FREE! And I am going!

La Boheme, which is set in early 1800s Paris, among a group of struggling artists and penniless Bohemians, is all about beauty, romance, and youthful idealism. It is the beloved story that inspired the Broadway musical Rent, and is quite possibly the most popular opera of all time. It's a great first opera to see, if you have not been initiated into the wonderful world of opera. And certainly its' themes of struggle and beauty in times of despair, resonate with the state of things today.
I don't know if there are any tickets still available for La Boheme. But at Bohemian Lifestyle for Rent tonight, you'll have a chance to hear excerpts sung by the Mimi and Rudolpho leads, and enter to win free tickets! I've already snatched up mine, and will be posting plenty more updates, tributes, and fun in the next couple weeks to celebrate everything Boheme!

How was the show? Boheme is great, I hope you have a blast.
