The Alcantara company, which is the manufacturerof the same name, was presented to the audience of the Teatro Regio Torino in the famous opera by Giacomo Puccini "La Bohème". "La Bohème" was first staged at the Teatro Regio Torino 120 years ago, and now this work of the highest cultural value returns to the stage of the theater. In honor of this anniversary, on October 12, a new version of "La Bohème" was shown, staged by the theater company La Fura dels Baus, known for its innovative and revolutionary approach to theatrical productions. Alcantara took part in the organization: the company's material was used to create the scenery, costumes and curtain, thus demonstrating the perfection of Italian quality.
La Boheme will be presented in contextmodern times — the viewer will see a 21st century metropolis in decline and ruin. In the opera, the young generation of bohemians emphasizes the cultural diversity that has emerged in the context of intercontinental migration. The huge curtain measuring 19 x 10 meters was designed under the supervision of set designer Alfonso Flores. An image of a scene from the production is printed on the Alcantara® material, allowing the viewer to join the world of the “rebellious” version of “La Bohème” from the very beginning.
The stage will also feature structures withmetal frames covered in perforated light blue Alcantara®. The second act will take place in the Momus café, with tables covered in a special limited edition Alcantara® Medusa. This exclusive light blue material, made using laser cutting technology, was also featured in the brand’s interior collection, Acqua.
The opera "La Bohème" staged by La Fura dels Bauswill also be shown on The Opera Platform. The online platform streams various productions of the theater so that everyone can enjoy them. From October 21, La Bohème will be available for viewing on the site for the next six months.
