La Boheme Opera

July 1, 2014
I love a good love story!
It doesn’t matter if it’s a romantic film, book or play chances are I’ll enjoy it!
I’ve recently discovered opera. In particular La Boheme.
According to the English National Opera website, La Boheme is one of opera’s greatest love stories.
I’m sold!
This opera traces the doomed relationship between the impoverished poet Rodolfo and his seamstress girlfriend Mimi.
I always remember watching the American TV show, Fraser.
Fraser and his brother Niles would often go to the opera together.
I always thought it looked fabulous, enchanting and magical!

Listening to the singing, the different languages, the music, the passion that the performers have for telling the story through song.
I can certainly understand why people say they fall in love with opera!
La Boheme is sung and subtitled in English. It was inspired by photographs of the 1930s Paris Left Bank and it’s one of the world’s most popular and captivating operas.
Opera is seen by many as art. Capturing dramatic performances on stage.
The costumes, lighting, scenery and surroundings all add to the overall experience.
Of course, the home of opera is Italy!
My husband and I have been to Rome twice before our daughters were born and I long to go back to Italy!
I want to learn Italian and explore the country and even more so I’d love to see an opera in Italy!
We could follow it up with some good pizza and ice cream!
Have you been to the opera?

I started Twin Mummy and Daddy in 2012.  

Over time Twin Mummy and Daddy has gone from strength to strength. I write about our family life, my love for running and our passion for adventure and travel.  

We’ve also started living a more eco-friendly life. As such I also write about our zero waste journey in a bid to encourage others to think about the impact they have on the environment.

I’m a keen runner and in April 2019 I ran the London Marathon for an amazing charity called WellChild. It’s one of my biggest achievements to date. I raised over £2,000 for the charity and learnt so much along the way.

This year we’re passionate about spending time outdoors. We’ll be sharing our travel, days out and camping adventures right here on Twin Mummy and Daddy.
