Initially lukewarm about the project, Puccini invested all his energies into it when he learned that rival composer Ruggero Leoncavallo was working on his own adaptation. They drew inspiration from Henri Murger's Scènes de la vie de bohème, a collection of vignettes on struggling bohemians' lives in a Parisian suburb. La Bohème marks the first collaboration of the classic creative trio Giacomo Puccini and librettists Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, without further contributors. The opera's bittersweet romance will grace the stage of Gran Teatro Giacomo Puccini in Torre del Lago for two nights during the Puccini Festival. Against this background, it is no wonder La Bohème has been a smashing success ever since its premiere on 1 February 1896 at Teatro Regio in Turin. Indeed, the attentive listener will pick out all the classic elements of the composer's creative genius: rich, emotion-laden solo numbers with memorable melodies, ambient and atmospheric orchestration that closely follows the plot, witty and moving lyrics, and an engaging love story whose ups and downs keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

La Bohème is widely regarded as the first of Giacomo Puccini's 'mature' operas.
