Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica based their libretto for this opera on Sc?nes de la vie de Boh?me by Henry Murger. It took Puccini only a fewmonths to complete a score brimming with wonderful melodic invention and orchestrational genius. The music is a surprisingly supple and sensitive medium for depicting a variety of emotions that animate the young: reckless living full of stop-gapexpedients, erratic feelings and sudden explosions of noble sentiment, the driving ambitions of ones art. Puccinis musical imagery illuminates the different moments and moods of the story with a delicate yet intense lyrical quality; just as therapid decline and death of Mim?, subtle yet invincible, remind us of the universal reality that all things must inevitably come to an end.On the cover: Al Quartiere Latino, sketch by Riccardo Salvadori, as a variation on the sketch by Adolf Hohenstein for the world premiere in Turin of Boh?me , 1896 Archivio Storico Ricordi
