Luciano Pavarotti stars in this magnificent production of La Boheme, performed by the Genoa Opera Company during their historic tour of the Peoples Republic of China. This unique cultural mission to mainland China received world-wide acclaim. The New York Times reported "If anybody can do away with culture clash, Luciano Pavarotti is the man."This performance of Puccinis most beloved opera was filmed live at Beijings Tianquiao Theatre. It is a powerful performance of the tragic tender love story of Mimi and Rodolfo poignantly interpreted by Luciano Pavarotti and Fiamma Izzo D Amico. The opera is set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in 1830. Four young Bohemians share a studio; Rodolfo is a poet, Marcello is a painter, Colline is a philosopher and Schaunard is a musician. The plot is focused upon the love of Rodolfo for his neighbor Mimi, who is a seamstress, fatally ill with consumption. Tragically, Mimi cannot bear Rodolfos irrational jealousy and eventually leaves him. She returns, only when brought in, dying, by Musetta. The group of Bohemians make a desperate and emotional attempt to save her, but its too late. Since its premiere in Turin in 1896, La Boheme has been embraced by opera lovers around the world. This production starring the worlds favorite tenor will long be hailed as perhaps the greatest La Boheme ever captured on film. With The Municipal Opera Theatre Of Genoa, from Tianquiao Theatre, Beijing, China.
