Seeing an opera

A couple of months ago we went to see La Bohème at the Soho Theatre. I've seen a couple of operas in the past and never been massively enamoured but I was looking forward to trying again. I wasn't disappointed!

I absolutely loved the OperaUpClose production which is a contemporary adaptation with an English libretto and broadly based in London. It was funny, engaging and totally accessible. There's a surprise element that I won't mention in case you see it but it really made it for me. I cried and cried in the sad bits and can't recommend the production highly enough!
