I absolutely loved it! And recommend it to everyone, even people that are not great fans of opera. The setting of this opera was different to Puccini's in the sense that it was a more contemporary take. The essence of the opera remained as the plot was the same, but it was adapted to today's world.
The cast, although young was very talented, and managed to make the experience very enjoyable and accessible. It is also emotionally engaging as La Boheme is meant to be, with love as the basis.
The director Robin Norton-Hale managed to give this classic opera a modern twist, which worked wonderfully.
The reviews have been very positive, and they have even won an Olivier Awar for "Best New Opera Production."
The theatre in the King's head is quite small but cosy, so I advise to reserve your tickets in advance.
