Bohème is the opera of youth, the work of the "beautiful age of deception and utopia", in which "we believe, we hope and everything appears beautiful". Paris, end of the 19th century: the Belle époque, the bohemian life of penniless artists, the dreams, the hopes, the chimeras of Mimì, Rodolfo, Marcello, Musetta and their friends, in that cold winter of the Ville Lumière, which for the young flower girl it will be fatal.

An opera mixed with prose, which amuses, involves and moves. A show about love but also about the passion for theatre, where Puccini's music guides the images evoked by the words and actions of the artists.

The audience will be involved in a saraband of gags and narrative accelerations that narrate not only Puccini's opera but also the life of one of the greatest composers in history: the most significant events of the period, the characters who loved and venerated the great musician , or they hated it. In just over an hour, you will be transported back among hysterical librettists, women in love, passionate directors and impresarios ready for anything.

The artists on stage will guide us on a journey made up of dozens of characters who continually change costume, role, status, to tell the constant intertwining between art and life, typical of great creative spirits, and from which emerges an original and passionate, and at times melancholic, of the great Giacomo Puccini.
