The masterpiece combines the style elements of comedy and drama and captivates the spectators with its heartbreaking melodies. Through the libretto, which comes from Henri Murger's "Scènes de la vie de Bohème" and was written together by Puccini as well as the librettists Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, we experience the heights and depths of love in the bohemist world.

The emotions of the bohemian

With an action that reflects the everyday life of the young artists in Paris, we encounter characters such as the moving Mimì, the poetic Rodolfo, the lovable Musetta and the artistic Marcello. These figures are not a fateful work, but rather represent the small joys and suffering of life. In particular, the famous death scene of Mimì has deeply touched humanity over generations and made the opera a timeless classic. "La Bohème" not only deals with love, but also loss and challenges of life that affect each of us, so concerti.de.

Puccini, who died in Brussels on November 29, 1924, is often perceived paradox. While works such as "Tosca" or "Turandot" are firmly anchored in the repertoire of many theater, Puccini is often criticized, less appreciation than his contemporaries, such as Mozart or Wagner. Despite the superficial view of his music, it is necessary to recognize Puccini's sensitivity to contemporary composition and the influences of master colleagues such as Debussy, Strauss and Schönberg. His operas, especially "La Bohème", are a perfect mix of melodic brilliance and gripping dramaturgy.
