Famous tragic opera by Giacomo Puccini in four acts. Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) is known as an opera composer. He mostly composed at the piano in his house at Lake Torre del Lago. His first success was Manon Lescaut (1893). Three of his most important operas are: La Bohème (1896), Tosca (1900), Madame Butterfly (1904). With the subjects of his operas, Puccini was close to everyday life. Through this style of composition, Puccini is classified within the style of verismo. One of his most beautiful operas, La Bohème, is characterized by a blend of cheerfulness and drama and beautiful melodies. The story tells us about the poor poet Rodolfo, who falls in love with the seamstress Mimi, who is suffering from a deadly illness. After a short separation, the couple is reunited, but Mimi dies in the arms of Rodolfo. Puccini based his opera on Henri Murger's (1822–1861) book Scènes de la vie de bohème. About the life of young, poor Parisian artists. In La Bohème, the composer turned everyday emotions into great art. He wrote sensitive passages, with the famous highlight being the aria "Che gelida manina". This is the moment when the love between the two main characters flourishes. Highlights from La Bohème: Che gelida manina, Mi chiamano Mimi, O soave fanciulla and Musetta's Waltz, Mimi!
