Light Opera of New Jersey returns to live performance in a riveting, fully staged production of Puccini’s masterwork La Bohème at two New Jersey locations.

LONJ’s bold production conducted by Jason C. Tramm and directed by Andrea DelGiudice, will debut at Somerset County’s intimate Fellowship Cultural Arts Center Theatre for a two-weekend engagement:

·     Saturday, March 19, at 7:30 pm

·     Sunday Matinee, March 20, @ 2:30 pm

·     Friday, March 25, @ 7:30 pm

·     Saturday, March 26, @ 7:30 pm

·   Concluding in Essex County at the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) in a one performance only appearance, Sunday, March 27, at 7:00 pm.

 

This production is set in modern-day NYC and features projected images and video. Nineteenth century and modern-day New York City have more in common than you’d think, and the bohemian lifestyle is just as vibrant and tragic. Come and be transported by a modern retelling of one of opera’s most enduring works.

The principal cast includes Molly Dunn (Mimì), Frederick Schlick (Rodolfo), Jason Detwiler (Marcello), Veronica Shea (Musetta), Suchan Kim (Schaunard), Chadol Kimn (Colline), Steven Fredericks (Alcindoro/Benoit), and Zachary Morehouse (Santa Claus); for the March 27 performance at SOPAC, David Smolokoff (Rodolfo) and Anna Woiwood (Mimì) will join the cast.

This is an innovative twist on Puccini’s classic and a must for anyone who enjoys classic opera or modern-day fun! Find out more about Bohème and reserve your tickets. 

General Admission ticket prices range from $55 - $60. https://lightoperaofnewjersey.org/la-boheme/
