The story of La Boheme

Amongst a lively but destitute collective of artists, poet Rodolfo is entreated by Mimi, his beautiful and delicate neighbor to help her light her last candle. Losing his heart immediately, he and Mimi embark on a dizzying relationship that captures the whole scope of Bohemian life, from raucous parties at various watering holes to spirited fights with their landlord. La Boheme is truly the ultimate paean to love, life and art.
