Additional performance of La bohème scheduled for 30 March 2025

As tickets for the four performances of La bohème scheduled for March have already been sold out, the Greek National Opera announces an additional performance on the 30th of March 2025 in the Stavros Niarchos Hall at the SNFCC. Tickets are available at the GNO Box Office and online at ticketservices.gr.

Therefore, the schedule for the second phase of La bohème performances is now as follows:

14, 16, 19, 23 and 30 March 2025

Konstantinos Terzakis will conduct a new cast of protagonists, including Anna Stylianaki as Mimì, Konstantinos Klironomos as Rodolfo, Dimitris Tiliakos as Marcello, and Annie Fassea as Musetta. The production features stage direction by Graham Vick, revived by Katerina Petsatodi.

The stage direction for this production of the famous opera La bohème carries the signature of Graham Vick – “the man saving opera in Britain” (Telegraph). His successful reading of La bohème, transferring its plot from 19th-century Paris to 21st-century Athens, has created a landmark performance in the history of Greek opera. The sets and costumes were designed by Richard Hudson, Ron Howell was in charge of the movement and Giuseppe di Iorio created the lighting.

La bohème is based on the novella Scènes de la vie de bohème (“Scenes of Bohemian Life”) by Henry Murger. Set against the backdrop of an icy Paris at Christmastime, this opera tells the story of the love between the poet Rodolfo and the seamstress Mimì from the moment they meet to her death from consumption. With his powerfully evocative music, Puccini makes audiences run the whole gamut of emotions in sublime ways: carefreeness, joy, great love, and despair.
