PUCCINI’S MUCH-LOVED LA BOHÈME 
La bohème received its world premiere at Turin’s Teatro Regio in 1896 and its Covent Garden debut the following year. Composer Giacomo Puccini was inspired by Henri Murger’s 1851 episodic novel, Scènes de la vie de bohème (‘Scenes of the bohemian life’). The libretto was written by playwright Luigi Illica and poet Giuseppe Giacosa. It is currently one of the best-loved operas worldwide, and the opera most performed at the Royal Opera House. 

A TIMELESS LOVE STORY  
With its soaring love duets, intimate arias and spectacular chorus scenes, Puccini’s timeless Parisian tale has enduring appeal to audiences throughout the ages. Puccini’s beautiful score includes highlights such as ‘Sì, mi chiamano Mimì’ (Yes, they call me Mimì) and ‘Quando m’en vo’ (When I go along), Puccini himself wept at the music of the poignant final scenes.
