Opera Si! La Bohemia

KL City Opera (KLCO) will be presenting Opera Si! La Bohemia, a stunning reimagining of Puccini's La Bohème, set in 1960s Malaya, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Puccini’s death. Directed by Amelia Tan, this production transports audiences to the golden age of P. Ramlee and the Shaw Brothers’ film industry, blending classic opera with the cinematic flair and vibrant culture of the era. Featuring a talented double cast, the performances promise a visual and auditory feast, and we find out all about it from conductor Dr Bernard Tan, and tenor Tan Chee Shen.
