Laboheme - we kicked off the season with puccini's great love story, la boheme, the story of a tightly knit band of struggling young artists in paris's latin quarter, whose bonds are unbreakable in the face of love and loss. This production featured both national artist who came to wichita to share their artistry, as well as wichita based singers, who comprised the wgo chorus. Additionally, wgo was proud to hire graduates of wichita state university in leading roles, giving performance opportunities to our artists well deserving of the chance to put their thorough wichita training to use on stage in front of our discerning audiences.
