A candle flickers out on Christmas Eve, tentative hands meet in the
dark, and a rapturous duet soars under the moonlight. Follow the tale
of six young Parisians who live an exuberant bohemian existence,
surviving on love and laughter.
The heartbreaking story of opera's most famous young lovers returns
in the signature Herbert Ross production. A poet discovers true love
with a lovely, fragile seamstress. A painter and a vivacious cabaret
singer rediscover their on-again, off-again passion. Surrounded by
the evocative rooftops, cafés and garrets of Paris, these lively
bohemians and their companions experience exhilarating joy and
irretrievable loss.
