La Boehme

La Boehme is an opera set in 4 acts written by Puccini. It is one of the most frequently performed operas.The story is set in Paris around 1830.
It focuses on the love between the seamstress called Mimì and the poet Rodolfo. They almost immediately fall in love with each other, but Rodolfo later wants to leave Mimì because of her flirtatious behavior. However, Mimì also happens to be mortally ill, and Rodolfo also feels guilt, since their life together likely had worsened her health even further. They reunite for a brief moment at the end before Mimì dies.

  1. You found some good information on La Boehme. I didn't know it was such a popular opera. The character Mimi sounds a lot like the Mimi in RENT. La Boehme seems like a good opera but sad too.
