Bohème

Bohème

by Giuseppe Giacosa

This libretto, originally written in Italian and translated into English, serves as the foundation for Giacomo Puccini's renowned opera, "La Bohème." It tells the story of four struggling artists living in 1830s Paris, their creative spirit and camaraderie, and the profound love that blossoms between one of them, the poet Rodolfo, and a poor seamstress named Mimi. However, their happiness is threatened by Mimi's declining health due to tuberculosis. This dramatic reading brings the poignant tale of love and loss to life, capturing the essence of a timeless story.
