WINNER OF THE OLIVIER AWARD WINNER OF THE WHATSONSTAGE AWARD Best New Opera Production 2011 Best Off West-End Production 2011 CRITICS' CHOICE: The Times, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, Independent on Sunday La Bohème was OperaUpClose’s first production and opened in 2009. It ran sold out for six months in London and has gone on to win an Olivier Award, three West End transfers, UK tours and a week at the highly respected Ravenna Festival in Italy.
