La Boheme
When it comes to opera, Monaco certainly does not disappoint. Running from 24th-31st January 2020, ‘La Boheme’ by Giacomo Puccini will be performed in collaboration with the Philharmonic orchestra at Place du Casino in Monte Carlo. With a refreshingly relatable story focused on the human experience of emotions and love, in particular, La Boheme is a masterclass in simple but moving storytelling.
