On Tuesday 3rd October 2017, at 7.15pm, The Royal Opera’s new
production of La bohèmedirected by Richard Jones will be screened live
to cinemas around the world. One of the most popular operas in the
repertory, Puccini’s romantic portrayal of bohemian Paris has
captivated generations of opera lovers and newcomers with wonderful
music and a love story drawn from everyday life.It is love at first
sight when Rodolfo and Mimì meet, and what ensues is apassionate,
timeless, and moving story. Centring on a group of young artists, La
bohème follows their struggles to find money for items such as food and
rent, heartened by their friendships and romantic ideals. They live
contentedly in their small apartment, but their idyllic lifestyle is
threatened when Rodolfo learns that Mimì is gravely ill. Royal Opera
Music Director Antonio Pappano conducts a superb young cast including
Australian soprano Nicole Car as Mimì and American tenor Michael
Fabiano as Rodolfo in this new production that returns to the essence of
Puccini’s original opera. It captures the liveliness of a bustling
19th century Paris as well as providing some beautifully poignant
moments throughout.

A full-throttle war play that revels in the sweat of the battlefield,
Coriolanus transports us back to the emergence of the republic of Rome.

Caius Martius Coriolanus is a fearless soldier but a reluctant leader.
His ambitious mother attempts to carve him a path to political power,
but he struggles to change his nature and do what is required to achieve
greatness. In this new city state struggling to find its feet, where the
gap between rich and poor is widening every day, Coriolanus must decide
who he really is and where his allegiances lie.

Rome Season Director, Angus Jackson, completes the Royal Shakespeare
Company’s collection of Shakespeare’s Roman plays with a visceral
production which sees Sope Dirisu (One Night in Miami, Donmar Warehouse,
