Description One of the most popular operas of all times, La Boheme tells of a group of talented young people living, laughing and loving in Bohemian Paris. The close bonds of friendship from which thy all draw strength, and the heart rending love story of the poet Rodolfo and the young seamstress Mimi - poverty, gaiety, heartbreak and tenderness are here in equal measure, in a masterpiece of operatic theatre filled with Puccini's soaring romantic music.
