FLAT Pack Music will finish the tour of their successful and five-star rated production of Puccini's La Boheme at Hope Church in Hoylake on Saturday, October 6 with the Festival Orchestra as part of the Wirral Arts Festival.

Full of comedy, friendship, and love La Boheme is a tale of the ups and downs of a group of young people struggling to make ends meet whilst following their dreams.

Meanwhile his artistic friend Marcello continues his tumultuous relationship with the glamorous singer Musetta.

The production features Joseph Buckmaster as Rudolfo, Heather Heighway (Mimi), Phillip Clieve (Marcello), Peter Lidbetter (Colline), David Cane (Schaunard), Jessica Hope (Mussetta) and Samuel Jackson (Alcindoro / Benoit)
