Based on Scènes de la vie de Bohème by Henry Murger.  Puccini’s La bohème follows the romance between the poet Rodolfo and the beautiful Mimì.  With their friends, the artists charge headlong into a series of wild nights and romantic trysts set in the garrets of Paris and the raucous streets of the Latin Quarter.  Amidst the revelry are poignant and touching moments of heartfelt emotion, true love and ultimate loss.
