Toronto: Against the Grain Theatre presents “La Bohème” in Toronto and takes it in tour
Tuesday, September 3, 2019
AtG's first ever national tour takes the beloved Puccini love story, uproots it from the opera house, and sets it at your local bar. The traveling troubadours of #AtGBoheme will ride from Banff to Toronto — including a run at the historic Tranzac Club in the heart of Toronto's Annex before flying to the Yukon for their first opera in over 100 years! This is La Bohème. With libretto and stage direction by Joel Ivany, and music direction by David Eliakis led from the piano.
Toronto Shows:
October 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25
Meet Les Bobos: Toronto's free-spirited artistic rebels and bohemian beatniks who actually aspire to the world ambitions of their bourgeois neighbours.

#AtGBoheme is sung in English, with a new English libretto by Joel Ivany. The performance is 2.5 hours with one 30-minute intermission.
The venue is wheelchair accessible. Please get in touch with us if you have any accessibility questions.
