Depicting the love stories of young bohemian artists struggling with poverty and disease, this opera is celebrated for its emotional depth and masterful orchestration, making it a powerful portrayal of love, loss and the human spirit. The opera will take place on August 4 at 9 p.m. on the Mastro & San Daniele stage in Little Italy, and is sponsored by Ricasoli.
