Conducted by Richard Cordova, whose credit includes Amore Opera's US premiere of Dinorah in 2019, the production features three dynamic casts accompanied by chorus and orchestra. Sabrina Palladino makes her directorial debut, taking the mantle from Amore's founding and longtime stage and artistic director, Nathan Hull, who died in 2020. Sabrina, an Amato and Amore Opera alumna whose singing credit with Amore includes Mimì, Tosca and Hanna Glawari, is known for her directorial work, including Verdi's Nabucco at Montclair Opera.

The stellar casts of performers include many Amore veteran singers and several new up-and-coming young singers. Jose Heredia, Rachel Hippert, Jesse Malgieri, Cassandra Douglas and Michelle Pretto return to reprise their Boheme roles at Amore. Amore returnee Dilara Unsal, Jennifer Moore, and Muir Ingliss perform in Boheme for the first time at Amore.  Making their debut at Amore are singers Chris Fistonich, Chris Trapani, Diego Valdez, and Yeawon Jun.
