La bohème

Loosely based on Henri Murger's novel, 'Scènes de la vie de bohème', La bohème is a portrayal of young bohemians, their love affairs and lives within the streets and taverns of Paris's Latin Quarter during the 1840s. The opera shows us the meeting of lovers Rodolfo and Mimì within this world and, perhaps predictably considering the author, Puccini, the disastrous and distraught culmination of their relationship. This is the third of Puccini's most acclaimed operas to be presented in the new season at The Croatian National Theatre Ivan Zajc Rijeka.
