FREE! Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2026 Time: 7:00PM Location: Central Library, Alice MacKay Room - Lower Level, 350 W Georgia St, Vancouver, BC V6B 6B1 Why do we love to cry at the theatre? What is it about tragedy that keeps us coming back again and again? And what is it about La Bohème that serves it up on a sublimely sorrowful platter? Perhaps it’s nostalgia for something we’ve never known, the pull of a passionate love story, or maybe the cathartic power of Puccini’s sweeping melodies? Join Vancouver Opera’s Nicholas Burns, and a fine cast of singers on a musical journey to try and break down exactly what makes La Bohème a timeless classic with a lasting artistic impact.
