SF Opera Preview at Holy Names University: Puccini’s La Bohème

Visit The Valley Center for Performing Arts at Holy Names University in the beautiful Oakland Hills for a free preview of the San Francisco Opera’s fall production of La Bohème – Puccini’s tale of intense passion and youthful idealism.

Special guests from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music will perform and comment on musical excerpts from La Bohème. Moreover, an accomplished scholar will enlighten us about the historical context and dramatic twists-and-turns in the making of this great classic.
