Of “La Bohème,” the famous opera set among starving artists in Paris in the 1830s, Schulman said, “it’s relevant always.” “La Bohème” is traditionally cast with eight men and two women. But with the company’s gender-blind casting, “it gave us the opportunity to use all these incredible local artists, and tell the story through a different perspective.”

“La Bohème” comes to Woodhouse on Wednesday, Thursday and next Sunday (June 7, 8 and 11). The already sold-out show means, said Schulman, more opera in unusual venues: “My partners and I are thinking about what we can do next season. We have some ideas as soon as we can.”
