A story can be told in different ways and in different settings. It is precisely for this reason that we decided to retain Kálmán Nádasdy's famous 1937 direction of La Bohème at the Opera House while also adding another interpretation to the programme at the Erkel Theatre. To realise this new work, we've invited one of the most exciting young opera directors of our times: Damian Michieletto. The internationally known artist presents before us a map of modern Paris: its bohemians are the impetuous and lovable youths of today, and the windows of their rented flats glow with their amour.
