La bohème (Bohemia),Puccini: La bohème Puccini

the story
In the Latin Quarter, a group of penniless students struggle against daily misery by living happily on love and fresh water. Two couples are formed, full of contrasts: the little seamstress Mimi and her poet Rodolfo make their love at first sight vibrate and declare their love to their friends during Christmas evening, while the painter Marcello faces Musette's brilliant strokes, his flighty mistress. But soon, Mimi and Rodolfo no longer get along and end up breaking up. In reality, Mimi knows she is condemned by tuberculosis.

What they say
When I take a work, I carefully read the author's instructions. These few words written at the end of the distribution of La Bohème: “The action is in Paris, in the Latin Quarter, in winter 1830” challenged me. Indeed, the “Trois Glorieuses” of July 1830 were followed by a very cold winter which partly explains Mimi’s illness. These three tumultuous days saw a youth uprising, riots broke out, and then a revolution was born. Barricades have been erected in the districts of Paris. I thought to myself, what does this remind me of? Daniel Benoin

what they think
Daniel Benoin is a founder at heart. France Info
This initiation to life and its many pitfalls which mixes youth, precariousness, friendship, love and death, is more topical than ever. Daniel Benoin's staging reminds us very convincingly of its timelessness. The Parisian
That works ! It's consistent. Coherence is the first quality of a staging. A fine theatrical exercise in the land of opera. André Peyreigne, Nice-Matin
It is the triumph of La Bohème, version 68. An effective and fascinating staging with the necessary irony of Daniel Benoin. Dejan Bozonic, Il Gazzetinno
Finally a staging of La Bohème full of life, full of ideas. Helmut Christian, Kleine Zeitung
