LA BOHÈME

La Bohème– Puccini Festival Torre del Lago 2023

Since its world premiere in Turin in 1896, the opera La Bohème has been one of the most popular operas. It was Giacomo Puccini’s longing wish to hear his operas in the place on the lakeshore where he composed them. Six years after his death, La Bohème was first performed on the natural stage of the lake of Torre del Lago. For lovers of classical music and Italian operas, it is a dream to enjoy the soft music of Giacomo Puccini in the open air in the warm air. The Puccini Music Festival takes place every summer in the beautiful Tuscan city of Lucca.

The story of La Bohème

On a Christmas Eve in Paris, the writer Rodolfo and the painter Marcello sit hungrily and freezing in front of the cold stove.
The philosopher Colline comes home in a bad mood. Only the musician Schaunard had earned a little money and bought wine and firewood. You want to spend Christmas Eve in the Momus Café. Rodolfo has another item to do when there is a knock on the door. Mimi, the seamstress, asks for a fire for the candle. Mimi stays and Rodolfo falls in love with the seamstress. Rodolfo brings Mimi to Café Momus. Musette is there too. The old friend Marcello sends her rich lover away and hugs her former lover Marcello. Marcello and Musetta often quarrel and Rodolfo and Mimi are about to break up. Mimi is unhappy and terminally ill. A few months later: Rodolfo wants to see the terminally ill Mimi one last time. Musetta drags Mimi up the stairs to the apartment, where Marcello and Rodolfo do their work. To help the sick Mimi, the friends sell their things, only Rodolfo stays with Mimi, where she sings her love for Rodolfo one last time. When the friends return with the presents, Mimi dies.
