LA BOHÈME

LA BOHÈME SYNOPSIS 

ACT I

The poet Rodolfo lives in a shabby garret in Paris with his friends and other ex-pats, the painterMarcello, the philosopher Colline and the musician and part-time gigolo Schaunard. On Christmas eve they are having difficulty staying warm but after tricking the landlord to forgo the rent, they go off to the
Café Momus to celebrate. Rodolfo lags behind to finish writing an article when his neighbor, a shy seamstress named Mimí, comes by looking for a light for her candle. Despite her obvious frail condition, the two are drawn to each other and after pledging their love, go off to join the others at the Café
Momus.

ACT II

The Bohemians are enjoying the Christmas eve festivities and the outdoor café when Musetta, Marcello’s former lover arrives on the arm of her new, older companion, Alcindoro. She taunts Marcello with her popularity but ultimately, still very much in love with him, feigns an aching foot and sends Alcindoro running off in search of another pair of shoes. Musetta and Marcello embrace as a parade comes by and all the Bohemians join in the celebratory atmosphere.

ACT III

Well into winter, Musetta and Marcello are living above a tavern where he paints and she gives singing lessons. They can’t stop fighting, mostly because of Musetta’s flirting and Marcello’s jealousy. Mimí arrives, much sicker than before, looking for Marcello’s help. Rodolfo has broken up with her and left
under the pretext that she is unfaithful to him. He has been staying at the tavern and when he comes out, Mimí hides. She overhears the real reason Rodolfo has left her. He can see that Mimí is getting sicker and he is wracked with guilt and shame that he hasn’t the money to provide better care for her. Mimí, shocked and distraught at news of the truth, makes her presence known and she and Rodolfo agree to stay together until the spring. Meanwhile, Marcello and Musetta fight bitterly and she leaves him.

ACT IV

As spring blooms, Rodolfo and Marcello are back living in the garret with Colline and Schaunard, lamenting how much they miss Mimí and Musetta. Some lively antics are interrupted when Musetta arrives unexpectedly to say that the failing Mimí is waiting outside and wants to see Rodolfo one last
time. Rodolfo carries her in and they recall their love and happy times together as the others contemplate how to pay for some medicine. Musetta and Marcello reconcile and Colline and Schaunard each bid Mimí farewell. In a quiet moment, Mimí dies leaving Rodolfo distraught.

SINOPSIS DE LA BOHÉME  

ACTO I

El poeta Rodolfo vive en una deteriorada buhardilla en París con sus amigos y otros expatriados: el pintor Marcello, el filósofo Colline y el músico y gigoló ocasional Schaunard. En Nochebuena tienen dificultades para mantener el calor, pero después de engañar al propietario para que les perdone el mes, se van al Café Momus a celebrar. Rodolfo se queda atrás para terminar de escribir un artículo cuando su vecina, una tímida costurera llamada Mimí, se acerca en busca de fuego para encender su vela. A pesar de su evidente fragilidad, los dos se sienten atraídos el uno por el otro y, tras jurarse amor eterno, se reúnen con los demás en el Café Momus.

ACTO II

Los bohemios disfrutan de las festividades de Nochebuena y de la terraza del café cuando Musetta, la ex-amante de Marcello, llega del brazo de su nuevo y maduro compañero, Alcindoro. Ella se burla de Marcello con su popularidad, pero al final, aún muy enamorada de él, finge que le duele el pie y envía a Alcindoro a buscar otro par de zapatos. Musetta y Marcello se abrazan mientras pasa un desfile y todos los bohemios se unen al ambiente festivo.

ACTO III

En pleno invierno, Musetta y Marcello viven encima de una taberna donde él pinta y ella da clases de canto. No dejan de pelear, sobre todo por los coqueteos de Musetta y los celos de Marcello. Mimí llega, mucho más enferma que antes, buscando la ayuda de Marcello. Rodolfo ha roto con ella y se ha marchado con el pretexto de que ella le es infiel. Él se ha estado quedando en la taberna y, cuando sale, Mimí se esconde. Ella escucha por casualidad la verdadera razón por la que Rodolfo la ha abandonado. Él ve que Mimí está cada vez más enferma y se siente consumido por la culpa y la vergüenza de no tener dinero para proporcionarle mejores cuidados. Mimí, conmocionada y angustiada por la verdad, sale de su escondite y ambos acuerdan permanecer juntos hasta la primavera. Mientras tanto, Marcello y Musetta discuten acaloradamente y ella lo abandona.

ACTO IV

Con la llegada de la primavera, Rodolfo y Marcello vuelven a vivir en la buhardilla con Colline y Schaunard, lamentándose de lo mucho que extrañan a Mimí y Musetta. Sus animadas travesuras se ven interrumpidas cuando Musetta llega inesperadamente para decirles que Mimí, la cual se encuentra muy débil, está esperando afuera y quiere ver a Rodolfo por última vez. Rodolfo la lleva dentro y ambos recuerdan su amor y los momentos felices que pasaron juntos, mientras los demás piensan en cómo pagar los medicamentos. Musetta y Marcello se reconcilian y Colline y Schaunard se despiden de Mimí. En un momento de tranquilidad, Mimí muere dejando a Rodolfo desconsolado.
