This 2024 season, soprano Diana Skavronskaya looks forward to returning to the role of Mimi in Puccini's La Bohème in San Francisco with Pocket Opera & Cinnabar Theater for nine performances in June and July. The soprano first took on this role in the 2018/19 season at Batumi State Musical Center and Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
