# ‘La Boheme’

On October the 14th student from Riverside school attended the English National Opera (ENO) where Puccini’s masterpiece ‘La Boheme’, the story of two lovers in Paris 1830’s and their doomed affair, enthralled the students.

In true ENO style the production had a definite 21st century feel to it, but the story of losing a lover to a fatal illness has a timeless feel that will touch the coldest of hearts. When Rodolfo exclaims ‘Mimiiiiiiiii’ as he see her lifeless body and falls to the floor, the sobs from the students were audible.

Proving the power of music.

This was the second visit to the ENO but not the last
