La Boheme, Basis Kultur, Vienna, Austria 1

Basis Kultur’s free pop-up opera took place on June 7, 2015 in the Museumsquartier. Like any good student party, there were pink and purple wigs, toothbrushes, and a pillow fight. Walls came courtesy of Evian.

The audience was equally entertaining, with a Russian wearing a tank-top encrusted with the Union Jack, a Klimt’ish gentleman with long grey hair and a psychedelic t-shirt, and a little girl standing on top of a blue lounger to glimpse the singers. One 2-year-old was so thrilled by the experience that he repeatedly ran through the set.
