(Scottsdale, Ariz.) – Arizona Opera and Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts will present a free outdoor screening of Arizona Opera’s production of Puccini’s La bohème, one of the best-loved operas of all time, on Saturday, March 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the Scottsdale Civic Center Amphitheater.
Filmed live in 2010 at Symphony Hall in Phoenix, Arizona Opera’s La bohème recreates 19th-century Paris as the setting for the romance of the beautiful and frail seamstress Mimi and the poet Rodolfo. (The young lovers and their Bohemian circle of friends were the inspiration for the Broadway smash Rent.) Arizona Opera singers will perform live prior to the screening.
Scottsdale Civic Center Amphitheater is located at 75th and Main Street, a short walk from Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Free parking is available in the public parking garages located to the west of Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and at Civic Center Library on Drinkwater Boulevard at East Second Street.
Low-rise lawn chairs, pillows and blankets are welcome in designated areas. Picnic food and beverages (including beer and wine) are available for sale on the Amphitheater grounds. Outside food and beverages (with the exception of water in plastic containers) may not be brought into the Amphitheater. Pets, skateboards, roller skates and bicycles also are not permitted.
Opera in the Park is presented with support from Scottsdale League for the Arts.
