Review:

'A madly brilliant reimaging 4 stars --The Times

This is Puccini without a safety net and it works 4 stars --Evening Standard

"It's a riotous coup de théâtre that fizzes with fun and fabulousness... All in all a Bohème quite unlike any other." --Metro

This racy new way of presenting opera takes all of the stuffiness out." --The Western Mail

'Opera Up Close's La Boheme is striking, funny and heartbreaking. It will introduce opera to a whole new audience. It will take opera's existing audience and give them a good shake and slap in the face. You will cheer loudly. The revolution has begun and it is being led by Opera Up Close.' 5 stars --Public Reviews

This racy new way of presenting opera takes all of the stuffiness out." --The Western Mail
