San Francisco Opera is bringing Bohème Out of the Box to Bishop Ranch, in partnership with the City of San Ramon. This free, one-hour adaptation of Puccini’s La Bohème offers a rare opportunity to experience world-class opera outside the traditional theater. Performed by San Francisco Opera’s guest artists and Adler Fellows on a mobile opera stage, the production is sung in Italian with live English translations accessible on smartphones.

Set in the square at City Center Bishop Ranch, this midday performance provides a unique cultural interlude—perfect for a lunch break or an afternoon reset. Families with young children are invited to arrive early at 12pm for a First Act Workshop, a free, interactive session introducing young audiences to the music and story of La Bohème.

Attendees can enjoy the performance from the shaded lawn with a picnic blanket or take advantage of provided seating (outside chairs not permitted).
