La Bohème librettolezing #7

Playful vivisection of an opera classic

After Cosi fan tutte, Die Fledermaus, Don Giovanni, Falstaff, Turandot and Fidelio, WALPURGIS takes on the libretto of Pucccini’s opera La Bohème. Singers and actors sharpen their knives and skin the music from the text, in order to make its content resonate in an entirely different way.
