A dingy and dull Bohemian life that pulls at the heartstrings
26 May 15 / The Opera Critic
The staging is a major let down in James Conway’s production of La Boheme.
22 Mar 15 / Express
The visceral impact of the performance is not to be missed
18 Mar 15 / Mark Ronan's Theatre Reviews
ETO is back on tour with three superb productions
17 Mar 15 / Independent
Despite some extraneous pimping, Puccini’s robust vision survives, thanks to a solid cast
17 Mar 15 / The Stage
Well integrated La Bohème liberates and informs the imagination
17 Mar 15 / Seen and Heard
Simple and emotive
17 Mar 15 / Bachtrack
A well-integrated production
17 Mar 15 / Boulezian
A new production of Puccini's evergreen tear-jerker that's musically first-rate
16 Mar 15 / What's on Stage
Sparse but beautifully sung production from ETO
16 Mar 15 / The Guardian
A hideous set undermines ETO's crisp account of Puccini's opera
15 Mar 15 / Telegraph
The music's intertwining with the performances is what sets live opera apart
