I’m attending my first opera (La Bohème) though it’s not really my thing, you make me actually want to go. Great explanation (though how could I really know it’s great) but I love your humor.
Don't know the play well, but knowing some of victorian era paris it probably comes from her little-ness, or like a cute nickname. Mimi is like to do more with a character trait rather name, most latin/romance cultures do this, where english culture for some reason just does name abbreviations.
It's a reference to "Rent" the musical which is basically La Boheme reinterpreted for the 90s (tb is now AIDs) the song has the female asking the lead to "light her candle"
ummm... yes you can they are online and very accessible! 2017 Avi also watched a huge amount of opera online. Covid-19 just heightened its accessibility :)
I think its a great musical and it was really well made. I was obsessed with it when I was a child. It's just a nice thing to listen to if you would like.
Thank You for this.
'Massively informative and brilliantly entertaining as usual. :)
That makes me so happy! 🤗☕️ ❤️
Good explanation. Thank you.
My pleasure glad you enjoyed!
Wonderfully told and hilarious as well ! 😄
Thank you so much @JonathanSuiss !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This great, I'm playing third trumpet in my university's orchestra for this opera, it's nice to actually know what the music I'm playing is about.
Thanks! Just what I need as I head to the Wiener Staatsoper for La Bohème in an hour.
Okay!! i'm watching yet!!!

Really great synopsis, wish it was longer tho.
Thank you! I definitely make them longer these days... So glad you enjoyed this one!
Bravo

Favolosa!
“Sound familiar?” No.. you should explain maybe. I mean I think maybe you mean the little match girl by hca but I’m not sure

?Is there any music in Rent that is based on the music in La Boheme
Michele Kaplan-Green Yes lots! And the lyrics reference the opera quite a bit.
Haha! "Nobody knows honey"
Never seen rent why would I.

@@VivsGreen I've seen a few but I don't like them except for the Phantom of the Opera and that's just because I love the Opera .
I would not want Puccini alone with my teenage daughter.. just sayin'
Hahaha!! probably a very good idea! 😆
Terrible explanation
