SF Opera Bohème Out of the Box Performance
12:30am–1:30pm
San Francisco Opera is bringing Bohème Out of the Box to City Center Bishop Ranch, in partnership with the City of San Ramon. Get swept away by passion, soaring arias, and timeless romance as La Bohème takes the stage—outside the opera house and into the heart of the square. This free*, one-hour performance reimagines Puccini’s classic with guest artists and San Francisco Opera’s Adler Fellows, all performed on a mobile opera stage. Sung in Italian with live English translations accessible on smartphones, it’s an experience that brings the magic of opera up close.
Families with young children can arrive early for a First Act Workshop, a free, interactive session 30 minutes before showtime. Little ones can explore the story, move to the music, and bring a favorite stuffed-animal friend to dance along to “Musetta’s Waltz.”
A perfect midday escape, this special performance transforms lunch hour into something extraordinary. Lounge on the shaded lawn with a picnic blanket or grab a seat in the square (outside chairs not permitted).
