La Bohème at Sandringham House Ballroom

With kind permission of His Majesty King Charles III, enjoy a special performance of La Bohème at the Sandringham House Ballroom.

We are delighted to announce that, following the success of La Traviata in October 2024, Diva Opera are returning to the unique and historic setting of Sandringham House this October with Puccini’s much loved opera La Bohème, in aid of Tapping House.

Giacomo Puccini’s most famous opera, La Bohème, tells the poignant story of four struggling young artists living in Paris in the late 1880s. Rodolfo, a poet, falls deeply in love with Mimì, a gentle seamstress, while his friend Marcello, a painter, navigates a stormy on-again, off-again relationship with the vivacious Musetta. Rodolfo and Mimì share a brief period of happiness, but their love is overshadowed by hardship. Fearing that their poverty will worsen Mimì’s tuberculosis, Rodolfo convinces himself that they must part. Months later, when Mimì becomes gravely ill, she returns to the garret where Rodolfo and his friends live. The two lovers reminisce tenderly about their first meeting and their love, but their reunion comes too late. Mimì dies peacefully, leaving Rodolfo heartbroken and inconsolable.

Ticket price of £200 includes reception, interval drinks and canapés, before an end of evening celebration with an auction. Tickets are limited to 160 guests. For fairness, seating will be allocated in order of ticket sales.

All proceeds will go to Tapping House.
