A far from perfect, but deeply moving performance of Puccini's masterpiece, broadcast live nationwide on 15 July 2014. Angela Gheorghiu as Mimì and Vittorio Grigolo as Rodolfo are the leading stars of the last but one revival of John Copley's production of La Bohème.

We invited a group of students into the Royal Opera House to immerse themselves in what opera is and how it is made.
 
The resulting films are sometimes about the art form and sometimes about a specific opera but they all exude a refreshing and playful enthusiasm for opera's potential to tell transformative stories.

'A toast to the pleasures of life!' -- so sing Violetta, her new admirer La bohème had a lukewarm reception at its premiere in 1896, but its fortunes almost immediately changed. Giacomo Puccini's romantic depiction of bohemian Paris, with memorable music and a love story drawn from everyday life, has captivated audiences round the world, making La bohème one of the best-loved of all operas. It was first performed in Covent Garden in 1897 and has had more than 500 performances here since.

John Copley's production re-creates Paris in the 1830s, from the lively Latin Quarter, where hawkers and traders ply their wares, to a drafty attic where impoverished artists live hand-to-mouth. Rodolfo and Mimì's love story is given moving expression through Puccini's score, from their first meeting in Act I (a scene which contains some of the composer's most exquisite arias and duets) to their poignant reunion in Act IV. These moments of emotional intensity are contrasted with the colourful spectacle of the Café Momus and surrounding streets in Act II, where Puccini presents a cross-section of Parisian society in all its noise and vibrancy.
