Giacomo Puccini hit the mark with his first stage work, Le Villi : his feeling for the perfect melody made him a beacon of hope for the Italian opera scene. He masterfully set to music the gruesomely beautiful legend about an unfaithful fiancé who dies as a result of the Willis' frenzied dance. But Puccini's own life story is also captivating. Udo Wachtveitl is telling it in concert ahead of the publication of a new edition of the BR-KLASSIK audio biographies - illustrated by the Munich Radio Orchestra.

Puccini’s timeless tragedy returns with three dynamic duos as the bohemian lovers. Sopranos Federica Lombardi, Anita Hartig, and Elena Stikhina alternate as the heartbreaking seamstress Mimì, and tenors Matthew Polenzani, Stephen Costello, and Joseph Calleja share the role of the love-struck poet Rodolfo. Sopranos Olga Kulchynska, Heidi Stober, and Kristina Mkhitaryan and baritones Adam Plachetka and Alexey Markov are the tempestuous lovers Musetta and Marcello, and maestros Carlo Rizzi and Marco Armiliato take the podium to oversee Franco Zeffirelli’s magnificent production.
