Against the Grain Theatre's 'La Bohème

The AtG production that started it all, and uprooted opera from the opera house. Our modern adaptation and English translation of the Puccini classic shifts the tale of struggling artists to the present-day, and unfolds entirely inside a local bar.

This fall, we tour the fully-staged remount of our acclaimed, groundbreaking English “transladaptation” of the Puccini classic. Presenting to audiences from Banff to Toronto and the Yukon!The story is set in modern-day. We’re not at Café Momus, but at your local bar: the most comforting bar in Whitehorse. This is La Bohème. Experience it (with a beer in hand) for the first time.

Feel free to take photos before, during and after the show, and tag #AtGBoheme @AtGtheatre on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook. No flash and no videos during the show! #AtGBoheme is sung in English, with a new English libretto by Joel Ivany. The performance is 2.5 hours long.
