La Bohème


Promotional Images

In November 2002, MKTG, the company responsible for online marketing of La Bohème, kindly provided me with some exclusive images of Baz Luhrmann and some of the cast on set shooting a promotional television commercial for the Broadway production.

Baz. Bohème. Broadway.
The stage is set for an amazing theatrical experience. Be there this fall when visionary director Baz Luhrmann, the creative force of nature behind the films Moulin Rouge and Romeo & Juliet, brings Puccini's La Bohème to Broadway in a thrilling new production.

The Background
Luhrmann spent two years searching the globe for talented young singers who can blow the roof off the theater, who are powerful actors and who are the same age as the characters they're playing.

The Setting
Luhrmann's production is reset in the left bank of Paris in 1957, with a stunning visual design by Academy award-winner Catherine Martin.

The other big difference
Classic opera houses have up to 45,000 seats. Our theater has only 1,800 seats so you're close to the action and can really feel the emotion.

 Come discover this new La Bohème. And get ready for an emotional journey to a place you've never been before!
