La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini is one of the two masterpieces of musical theater of the 2023 Opera Season of the Galli Theater. Puccini's opera is inspired by the novel by Henry Murger and is the first title of a program which will then continue in the autumn with the Verdi's opera 'Don Carlo'.
For La Bohème, direction and scenic design are by Cristina Mazzavillani Muti, who brings the story of fragile Mimì to the stage of the Galli Theater, of the love that overwhelms her and Rodolfo, and of the disillusioned dreams of the young and dishevelled artists who surround them.

The cast is completed by Clemente Antonio Daliotti, Andrea Vittorio De Campo, Fabio Baruzzi, Graziano Della Valle and Ivan Merlo.
