It’s Christmas Eve in the apartment of Marcello, Rodolfo, Colline, and Schaunard. They are nearly destitute, freezing, and the rent is past due. Enter: their neighbor Mimi. Equally poor, tragically ill, and seeking a flame for her candle, Rodolfo offers her the warmth she seeks. Follow these bohemians as they navigate the timeless struggles of the artist: feeling deeply, living freely, and loving fiercely in this neon-bathed modern adaptation of one of the world’s most beloved operas.
