About

In few words:

Is it because Murger had himself lived this way in his youth? No one better described the half-starved, struggling artists than the writer in his Scènes de la Vie de Bohème: artists ready to burn a manuscript to try to keep warm yet,in an era of triumphant bourgeois materialism, dreaming of another existence. Taking up these scenes of Bohemian life, Puccini offers us a heart-breaking love story and some of the most beautiful music in the history of opera in the story of the poet Rodolfo and fragile Mimi. The staging of this new production has been entrusted to Claus Guth who sets the drama in a future devoid of hope in which love and art become the sole means of transcendence.

Media coverage

Car le prétendu respect de la lettre est en fait un étouffement de l’œuvre (…)
Alain Duault, Opera Online
L’apparition de Mimi en robe rouge, quasi somnambule, est d’une poésie magnifique.
Marie-Aude Roux, Le Monde
En propulsant l’opéra de Puccini dans une station spatiale, Claus Guth lui offre un dépoussiérage salutaire, quitte à faire bondir les puristes.
Guillaume Tion, Libération
