The sounds of Giacomo Puccini will once again fill the opera house by Lake Ljusnaren next summer. In the summer of 2026, one of the world’s most beloved operas, La Bohème, will take the stage at Opera på Skäret in Sweden.
This weekend marks the final performances of this year’s audience and critical success Turandot, but work on the next major production is already in full swing. With La Bohème, Opera på Skäret continues to highlight Puccini’s musical masterpieces – this time with the story of love, friendship, and dreams in Paris.
– La Bohème is a work we have longed to present to our audience again. This masterful piece of music drama is a milestone in music history and remains relevant in all times. For the audience, to mirror themselves in the characters – who live in a vulnerable social class – and their profound striving and longing for love, through Puccini’s music and the librettists Illica and Giacosa, is to experience opera art at its very best, says Alexander Niclasson, artistic director at Opera på Skäret.
Tickets for the premiere weekend will be released today, Thursday, August 21. Audiences can look forward to a summer filled with passion, poetry, and Puccini’s unforgettable melodies.
