The opera's 18 performances mark the 38th revival of the new 1981-1982 production debuted Monday, Dec. 14, 1981, by Tuscan film, opera and television director and producer Franco Zeffirelli (Feb. 12, 1923-June 15, 2019). The Tuscan film, opera and television director and producer had made his Met Opera debut Friday, March 6, 1964, in the opera company's 67th performance of Falstaff by 19th century Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi (Oct. 10, 1813-Jan. 27, 1901).
The 2023-2024 season's presentation of Zeffirelli's setting of La Bohème comprises seven different schedules. A two-cast schedule pertains to the revival's two conductors, with the first, autumn-early winter conductorship covering the first 15 performances, from Oct. 10 through Dec. 1, and the second, mid-winter conductorship encharged with the last three performances, offered in January.
A three-cast schedule affects the singers of Mimì and Musetta. The first, mid-autumn cast attaches to the first eight performances, from Oct. 10 through Nov. 4. The second, late autumn to early winter cast is responsible for the ninth through 15th performances, Nov. 5 through Dec. 1. The third, mid-winter cast appears in the 16th through 18th, closing performances that are slated for the first half of January.
A three-cast schedule applies to the singers of Rodolfo. The first, mid-autumn schedule concerns the first through fifth performances, Oct. 10 to Oct. 25, and the seventh through eighth performances, Nov. 1 through Nov. 4. The second, late autumn to early winter schedule includes the sixth performance, Oct. 28, and handles the ninth through 15th performances, Nov. 5 through Dec. 1. The third, mid-winter schedule contains the 16th through 18th, closing performances, Jan. 4 through Jan. 13.
A two-cast schedule associates with the singers of Marcello. The first schedule includes the first eight performances, Oct. 10 through Nov 4, and the 16th through 18th, closing performances, Jan. 4 through Jan. 13. The second schedule applies to the ninth through 15th performances, Nov. 5 through Dec. 1.
The two-cast schedule for Schaunard more or less separates mid-autumn performances from late autumn and winter performances. The first part of the schedule receives the first eight performances, Oct. 10 through Nov. 4. The schedule's second part encompasses the ninth through 18th, closing performances, Nov. 5 through Jan. 13.
The three-cast schedule for Colline follows the schedule for Schaunard, with the exception of one date. The first and the third through eighth performances are assigned to the schedule's first part. The second performance accounts for the schedule's second component. The schedule's third part accounts for the ninth through 18th, closing performances, Nov. 5 through Jan. 13.
A seventh schedule considers the dual-role singer of Benoit and Alcindoro. As a non-shared role, this singer appears in all 18 performances.
Marco Armiliato conducts the last three performances, including the Jan. 13 Saturday matinee radio broadcast, of La Bohème. The Italian conductor made his Metropolitan Opera debut Monday, Nov. 9, 1998, in the opera company’s 1,048th performance of Puccini's La Bohème.
