In partnership with the City of South San Francisco, San Francisco Opera’s Bohème Out of the Box is coming to Orange Memorial Park in March.

This free live performance of an abridged version of La Bohème, composer Giacomo Puccini’s popular work about love and loss, to a group of bohemian artists, is performed in an intimate hour-long version on a converted shipping container turned mobile opera Stage.

“We are honored and excited that the San Francisco Opera has selected our city as one of four mobile venues to perform Bohème Out of the Box,” said South San Francisco Mayor Flor Nicolas. “This recognition further underscores that our city is a great place to live, work, learn and play.”

The stage will be set on the lawn at Orange Memorial Park, 781 Tennis Drive, South San Francisco, with the Joseph Fernekes Recreation Building as a backdrop. The performance dates are Friday, March 17, 7:30 p.m.; 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 18; and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 19.

Bohème Out of the Box is free (regular admission). Registration at sfopera.com/box is recommended.
