La bohème is a tale of love at first sight and the harsh reality of desperate poverty. This tragic story and Puccini’s beautiful music have made this one of the most frequently performed operas of recent times.

Four struggling bohemians – a poet, a painter, a musician, and a philosopher are living together in Paris, when one freezing Christmas Eve their lives are changed forever. A girl named Mimì knocks on their door looking for a light for her candle, and she and the poet Rodolfo fall in love.

However, the rush of love at first sight soon gives way to something much darker – it becomes clear that Mimì is desperately ill, and that Rodolfo, in his poverty, cannot provide for her. The bohemians are sharply awoken to the harsh realities of life…
 
La bohème - an opera in four acts – was composed by Puccini between 1893 and 1895 to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It is based on Henri Murger’s book Scenes de la vie de bohème, although major sections of acts two and three are the librettists' invention. The story is set in Paris around 1830 and shows the Bohemian lifestyle of a poor seamstress and her artist friends, with the central focus being on the relationship between Rodolfo and Mimì. The opera was premiered in Turin in 1896.
