Release Announcement La bohème

The Bravo! Vail Music Festival announced the return of opera to its 37th  Festival, presenting Puccini’s “La bohème” with The Philadelphia Orchestra led by music and artistic director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on July 10 and 12, 2024, at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail.

The theatrically inspired production of the opera will include The Philadelphia Orchestra, a full chorus and an all-star cast of singers with costumes and set design. Presenting the orchestra onstage instead of in an opera pit, these performances will bring the full power and intricacies of Puccini’s score front and center to Bravo! Vail audiences.

“When we presented our first opera, ‘Tosca,’ with Yannick and The Philadelphia Orchestra in 2019, the experience was so magical and impactful that we knew immediately opera belonged at Bravo! Vail,” said Bravo! Vail artistic director Anne-Marie McDermott. “I could not be more excited that we are finally seeing its return — this time the beloved classic ‘La bohème.'”
