Bandstand, Nottingham Arboretum

Book a slot, wrap up warm, grab a pair of Opera North headphones and allow yourself to be immersed in this magical outdoor experience screening. Be transported to a crisp, winter evening in Paris with this animated re-imagining of Act III of Puccini’s best-loved opera La bohème.
Once madly in love, Rodolfo and Mimì have fallen on hard times - Mimì’s illness is getting worse and Rodolfo is driven to jealousy and rage. In this famously heart-breaking act, the couple reaches breaking point.
Can their love survive the harsh winter? Matthew Robins' unique animated retelling of Act III of La bohème captures the emotion and humour of Puccini’s classic opera. Featuring a newly-recorded soundtrack by the Orchestra and Chorus of Opera North and four soloists, the animation works as a standalone piece so you don’t need to have seen the full production to attend.
