The Metropolitan Opera’s 2021-22 season of live Saturday matinee radio broadcasts continues with La Bohème, Puccini’s classic about young artists leading the “Bohemian” life in 19th-century Paris and learning about love and loss.
Italian soprano Maria Agresta and American tenor Charles Castronovo star as the lovers Mimì and Rodolfo. The cast also features Gabriella Reyes as Musetta, Lucas Meachem as Marcello, Alexander Birch Elliott as Schaunard, and Peter Kellner making his Met broadcast debut as Colline.
Carlo Rizzi conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus. During intermission, there will be backstage interviews, and the Opera Quiz.
La Bohème will be heard live over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 22. Listen to it on Classical IPR.
