SUMMARY:Philharmonia and the West Michigan Opera Project\, in collaboration with the Kalamazoo Children's Chorus. - La Boheme Friday\, May 15th\, 2026 7:00pm * First Presbyterian Church\, downtown Kalamazoo
DESCRIPTION:La Boheme\nFriday\, May 15th\, 2026 7:00pm * First Presbyterian Church\, downtown Kalamazoo\nIt’s just a whisp of a story\, really — a chance meeting and a blossoming love\, a few meals shared with friends\, the enduring tribulations of poverty — but in Puccini’s masterful hands\, every moment feels so much larger than life\, saturated with pathos and beauty.  This is why this tale of love found and lost among young starving artists in 19th-Century Paris endures as one of the most beloved operas of all time\, restaged and retold again and again. The Philharmonia is thrilled to once again collaborate with the extraordinary singers of the West Michigan Opera Project to present a semi-staged version of this dramatic work in both Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids\, and we are equally excited to welcome the Kalamazoo Children’s Chorus to our stage for the first time. \nTickets for our Kalamazoo performances are available at\nthe door\, and cost $7 for general admission\, $3 for students\,\nand are free for K students with ID
