- Abstract
The most representative work belonging to Pucini "La Bohème" sets up a portrait of the young Bohemians from the Latin neighbourhood of the Paris in the 1840s, with emphasis on the relationship between Rodolfo and Mimi. The opera is inspired by the novel "Scènes de la vie de bohème" belonging to the French writer Henri Murger and is based on a libretto belonging to Luigi Illinca and Giussepe Giacosa. The four acts present most of the details of the novel and of the play. Using the tragic love story between Rodolfo and Mimi, the composer presents not only the passion the spiritual unrest of two youngsters, but also the romanticism full of artistic verve from the France of that beautiful period (Belle Époque). The young characters and their story represent the defining elements of Puccini's work, which has been fascinating the public over the years. In this studio we shall try to establish the connection between the story, character and music.
