Description
Is it because Murger himself had known this existence during his youth? No one else knew how to describe more accurately, in his Scènes de la vie de bohème, these broke, starving artists, ready to burn a manuscript for a little fire but who dreamed of another life in the age of the triumphant materialistic bourgeoisie.Puccini's take on these scenes, through the relationship of the poet Rodolfo and the fragile Mimi, provides us with a moving love story and some of his most beautiful operatic pages. The direction of this new production is entrusted to Claus Guth who sets the drama in a hopeless future where love and art become the last transcendence.
