Two rival brothers, a lady to conquer, a daughter avenging her mother, welcome to the medieval, Spanish and thrilling intrigue of Il Trovatore , a work that established Verdi as the national composer of Romantic Italy. The second part of his trilogy, which began with Rigoletto and ended with La Traviata , this opera with its many twists and turns brings together all the ingredients of a swashbuckling novel: castles, soldiers, the stake, outlaws and extreme situations that the characters, driven by heightened passions, love, jealousy, hatred and the desire for revenge, must face... Verdi composes here a dark and flamboyant work, where witches, troubadours, gypsies and princesses give life to an opera of unprecedented brilliance.

La Bohème, composed by Giacomo Puccini, is one of the most beloved and frequently performed operas in the world's operatic repertoire. Premiered on February 1, 1896, at the Teatro Regio in Turin, under the baton of the young Arturo Toscanini, the work was enthusiastically received and established Puccini as one of the greatest composers of his time. Along with Madama Butterfly and Tosca, La Bohème holds a special place in the public's hearts for its moving humanity and the intensity of its emotions.

There is perhaps nothing simpler than La Bohème and yet nothing more moving: a young man and a young girl meet, fall in love, are separated by life and yet find each other again before a final farewell.

In this work, Puccini was able to create unforgettable images: Mimi entering, like a muse, into the poet's room, the love duet under the moon, the illuminated Grand Café Momus, the impossible farewells in the icy morning, death finally on a miserable bed.

La Bohème evokes what haunts us all: love that blazes and carries us to heaven, youth that flees, and time that destroys everything. In 1896, Puccini still had many masterpieces ahead of him, but perhaps he would never again find this clarity and splendor of melody.
