One of the operas performed most frequently all over the world, Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème will have its grand premiere in 2012 at the Salzburg Festival – its brilliance already ensured by the star cast led by conductor Daniele Gatti.
Puccini and his librettists gave a musical and dramaturgical treatment to the tales of Henri Murger, who had memorialized the life of Parisian artists and Bohemians in the serialized novel Scènes de la vie de bohème in the mid-19th century. However, the work hardly has a plot in the stricter sense. As in a film, scenes, images and impressions flit past the viewer. Like snapshots, momentary images record the pact of friendship between four young individualists in the metropolis of Paris: Rodolfo writing, Colline philosophizing, Marcello painting, and Schaunard, who has turned towards music.

全球演出最多的歌劇之一,普契尼的《波希米亞人》在2012年薩爾茨堡藝術節盛大公演 - 並由指揮丹尼爾加蒂帶領眾多明星級如皮奧特·貝扎拉(Piotr Beczala,Classical In Cinema's 德累斯敦除夕音樂會),安娜·聶翠柯(Anna Netrebko)等傾力演出。

薩爾茨堡藝術節創立至今,普契尼的歌劇只有《托斯卡》和《圖蘭朵》曾經在這裡演出過,今年確是一大突破”,藝術總監亞歷山大·佩雷拉說。
普契尼和詞作家對亨利·穆傑的原作故事賦予了音樂和戲劇的生命而創作出《波希米亞人》歌劇。故事圍繞19世紀中葉生活在巴黎的藝術家和波希米亞人的真摯寫照。四個在巴黎大都市年輕人之間的友情與及個人主義之間:魯道夫的作家,丘陵的哲學家,馬賽羅的畫家,和紹納爾的音樂家......《波希米亞人》是普契尼最膾炙人口的歌劇作品,敘述浪漫藝術家為追求純真愛情的故事而同時面對生活上不同悳矛盾。劇情結構簡單易懂,旋律動人的詠嘆調俯拾即是,自問世以來就被列為是義大利歌劇的代表作品之一。
