Opera diptych La Bohème and La Traviata, Bougival
On Sunday 22 November 2026 at 16:00 the Théâtre Le Grenier in Bougival, a town on the Seine west of Paris, presents Aimer, dit-elle, a diptych that places side by side two monuments of the Italian lyric repertoire, La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini. Staged by Carmelo Agnello, it is performed by the company Lyricando with the children's choir of the departmental conservatoire of Montreuil, and Virginie Martineau at the piano and as musical director. The listing says the two works offer an original and poignant vision of women, with Violetta and Mimi bound by the same tragic fate, as victims of a thwarted love. The performance lasts three hours and thirty minutes. The full price is 19 euros, reduced 15 euros and young people pay 9.50 euros. The listing gives 19:30 as the end. A Sunday afternoon opera in a small theatre is a warm outing to make alone. «Deux monuments du répertoire lyrique italien (La Traviata de Giuseppe Verdi et La Bohème de Giacomo Puccini) sont mis en regard» Starts 16:00, ends about 19:30.
