THE Palace Theatre presents Puccini's classic opera La Boheme next week.

Sung in the original Italian, the opera charts a tragic tale of doomed romance among the residents of 19th century bohemian Paris.

The production is presented by Opera Box, whose singers have worked for the major British opera companies including the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, Opera North and Glyndebourne Festival Opera.

La Boheme is being staged at 7.30pm, on Wednesday, September 4, and tickets cost £15, £14 (concessions) or £13.50 (with Reddicard) from the box office, on 65203, or the Tourist Information Centre, Alcester Street.
