OperaLab’s new “La bohème”, produced for the Dante Alighieri Society and Peninsula Hong Kong in commemoration of the Puccini centenary, opened on 27 and 28 April 2024 on Hong Kong’s iconic “Star Ferry”. Reduced to the four principals in a new arrangement by Marco Iannelli, and reset in contemporary Hong Kong, these performances take place against the dramatic backdrop of the world-famous Hong Kong skyline.
“La bohème” features Etta Fung as Mimì, Ashley Chui as Musetta, Chen Yong as Rodolfo and Isaaac Droscha as Marcello, with Hsu Wei-en on piano.
