La Bohéme

Life is Short, Live it Fully

La Bohème

Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa
Premiered February 1, 1896, Teatro Regio, Turin, Italy

In an attic in the Parisian Latin Quarter, the chateau is petite, but the personalities are grand. A group of artists live the bohemian lifestyle full of complicated relationships and nights at the café on a starving artist’s budget. Through the tumultuous relationships between Mimì and Rodolfo, and Marcello and Musetta, Puccini’s best-known opera encourages you to fully appreciate the fragility of life and love.
