LA BOHÈME | Giacomo Puccini
Dirigent: Marco Armiliato | Regie: Franco Zeffirelli
Artists: Piero Pretti, Marita Solberg, Alessio Arduini, Aida Garifullina
La bohème is an opera in four acts, composed by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, based on Scènes de la vie de bohème by Henri Murger. The world premiere performance of La bohème was in Turin on 1 February 1896 at the Teatro Regio, conducted by the young Arturo Toscanini. Since then, La bohème has become part of the standard Italian opera repertory and is one of the most frequently performed operas worldwide. In composing La Bohème, Puccini created what is probably the most moving and tender love story in operatic literature. Embedded in the most magnificent melodies, the story of poor Mimì and her Rodolfo leaves no one in the audience unmoved.
