August 26 & 28

On a freezing night in Paris, four struggling artists share unexpected good fortune and rush to the café to celebrate, but Rodolfo lags behind. His life is changed forever when Mimi, a seamstress seeking candlelight, knocks on his door. Puccini’s glorious music captures both the overwhelming rush of love at first sight, and the utter devastation of loss in the eyes of poverty and desperation; presented in Italian with English subtitles. F 7:30pm, Su 3pm, Maryland Hall, Annapolis, $85 w/discounts, RSVP: marylandhall.org.
