Happy Friday and Good Day Austin! ⛅️
La Bohème Director Eboni Adams popped by @fox7austin 's "Good Day Austin" today and didn’t just talk about opera… they turned it into a full-on dance break. Yes, there were moves. Yes, the anchors joined in. Yes, we had fun.
Thank you Eboni and the Good Day Austin team for sharing opera with our community! Check out the full segment on Fox7austin.com
📚 People always say “the book is better” but sometimes the music says it louder.
In honor of World Book Day, we’re looking back at the story behind La Bohème. Originally written as Scènes de la vie de bohème (“Scenes from Bohemian Life”) by Henri Murger, it captured the lives of young artists in Paris—full of love, ambition, and uncertainty.
Take a moment to read a story or book today. It might just inspire the next great opera!

If you love RENT, you already love La Bohème — you just might not know it yet 😉
Both stories follow a group of struggling artists trying to survive, create, and love in a big city. In La Bohème, it’s 19th-century Paris. 🇫🇷 In RENT, it’s 1990s New York. 🌃 Different centuries, different musical styles, same bohemian spirit!
✨ A writer and a fragile love story
✨ A passionate, outspoken woman who steals every scene
✨ Friends who become chosen family
✨ Poverty, illness, and the urgency of living fully
And yes… both will absolutely wreck you emotionally. 😭
RENT didn’t just take inspiration — it is a reimagined La Bohème for a new generation, swapping garrets for lofts and tuberculosis for the AIDS crisis, while keeping the heart of the story intact.
So whether you’re singing “Seasons of Love” or crying through “Mi chiamano Mimì”… you’re feeling the same story, just in a different key.
