Italian Cultural Institute is happy to support the re-run of Peter Gordon’s La bohème which premiered on the Star Ferry earlier this year.
La bohème is an intimate dramatic adaptation of Giacomo Puccini’s classic opera. Reduced to the four principal roles, this new version is designed to focus on the emotional ties between the two couples. It debuted in April 2024 in a run of special performances on Hong Kong’s iconic Star Ferry in a new production developed for The Peninsula Hong Kong and Dante Alighieri Society to commemorate the Puccini centenary.
The production adapted by Peter Gordon and with a new musical arrangement by Marco Iannelli. Featured Etta Fung as Mimì, Ashley Chui as Musetta, Chen Yong as Rodolfo and Isaac Droscha as Marcello.
