The first presentation at the Lyceum Theatre, on April 4, is James Conway’s poetic production of Puccini’s La bohème: a timeless story of young love found and lost. On a snowy Christmas Eve night, two lovers draw close in a Parisian garret but poverty forces them apart. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

A lively new production of The Golden Cockerel will be presented on April 5. The final opera of Rimsky-Korsakov is a daring satire on the last days of a global empire and will be conducted by the company’s new music director, Gerry Cornelius.
