Hear the Metropolitan Opera's production of Puccini's "La Bohème" on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Classical IPR.

The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with Puccini’s beloved opera about the passion – and pain – of young love: La Bohème.

Soprano Elena Stikhina and tenor Stephen Costello star as Mimì and Rodolfo, an idealistic couple facing a precarious future.

Kristina Mkhitaryan and Adam Plachetka are Musetta and Marcello, grappling with their own stormy relationship, and Krzysztof Bączyk and Rodion Pogossov are their bohemian pals Colline and Schaunard.

Maestro Marco Armiliato conducts the Met orchestra and chorus in Puccini’s enduring favorite.

Intermission features will include backstage interviews with the stars and the Opera Quiz.

La Bohème will be heard live over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 13.
