Rogue Valley Opera - La Bohème By Giacomo Puccini
 Puccini’s
masterpiece, La Bohème, arguably one of the world’s most beloved operas, will be the
high point of Rogue Opera’s 2008–2009 Season. It is the heart-warming and
heart-breaking story of six young Bohemian artists: a painter, a poet, a philosopher, and
several musicians living a poverty- stricken but exuberant, creative existence in the
Latin Quarter of Paris. Puccini’s beautiful and dramatically perfect melodic score
makes us laugh and weep, touching our hearts with passion and pathos. Rent, the
sensational Broadway musical and Hollywood movie, is based on the same premise of young,
poor, creative artists, struggling with friendship, love, laughter and despair. Led by
Producer and Stage Director Willene Gunn and Los Angeles Conductor David Aks, and
featuring a richly talented cast of professional opera singers, full orchestra and chorus,
with beautiful period costumes and sets, La Bohème promises to delight opera novices and
aficionados alike.

 I Remember Mama
by John Van Drufen
Mama, with the help of her husband and Uncle Chris, brings up the children in their
modest San Francisco home at the turn of the century. A sweet and capable manager, Mama
sees her children through childhood, manages to educate them and proudly watches as one of
her daughters begins her career as a writer. Mama's sisters and uncle furnish a rich
background for a great deal of comedy and a touch of tragedy while the doings of the
children keep eveyone in pleasant turmoil. No description can do justice to the rich
characterizations that fill the author's canvas.
