The Cleveland Opera presents La bohème by Puccini
7:30 PM - 10:30 PM
The Cleveland Opera brings to you the beloved Puccini classic in a new, fully staged production complete with soloists, chorus, costuming, sets, staging and The Cleveland Opera Orchestra under the baton of Grzegorz Nowak. Sung in the original Italian with English translation projected.

Set in 19th-century Paris, the love story of Rodolfo and Mimì portrays emotional intensity brought by the rich music of Giacomo Puccini as it sparkles with colors throughout the plot, presented in a collection of vignettes. Other characters – the painter Marcello, the singer Musetta, the musician Schaunard, the philosopher Colline – transport the audience to the environment of artistic Parisian life in the Latin Quarter of the city. In The Cleveland Opera’s production, the sets and costumes will be inspired by the dynamic paintings of Vincent van Gogh and French Impressionists.

A conductor of world-wide recognition, Maestro Nowak is Permanent Associate Conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London and Principal Conductor of The Cleveland Opera. In the fall 2017, he will combine these two positions with the appointment of the Music Director of The Grand National Opera in Warsaw, Poland, one of the largest opera houses in the world.

Tickets $25 – $65 can be purchased through PlayhouseSquare box office at

Really Really
8:00 PM
From one of the country‘s most promising new voices comes this contemporary drama that pushes the limits and embraces the harsh reality of today‘s youth. Loosely inspired by the Duke Lacrosse team scandal, the party of the year results in the regret of a lifetime, and one person will stop at nothing to salvage a future that is suddenly slipping away. In this quick-witted and gripping comic tragedy the veneer of loyalty and friendship is peeled back to reveal a vicious jungle of sexual politics, raw ambition, and class warfare, where in “Generation Me” it’s every man for himself. Production contains adult content.

Beck Center for the Arts
