La bohème
Puccini's four-act opera, composed to a libretto by G. Giacosa and L. Illica based on Scenes from Bohemian Life, a collection of short stories compiled by French author Henri Murger (1822-61) from his own experiences, premiered in Turin in 1896. The story is set in an attic in the Latin Quarter of Paris around 1830, where four young bohemians aspiring to be artists live a carefree life. The opera tells the story of a tender love affair between Rodolfo, a poet, one of the bohemians, who falls in love with Mimi, a poor seamstress who lives next door, after coming to ask for light from a burnt out candle.
