Quattro amici, affiatati come i quatto moschettieri e una Parigi, bella e romantica anche d'inverno, che fa da sfondo alle loro preoccupazioni e i primi lazzi dell'amore.
Due giovani donne, Mimì e Musetta, così diverse eppure così uguali.
Una candela si spegne, un vetro va in frantumi, un cuore si scalda…
La più grande storia d'amore che la lirica ci abbia donato per mezzo del Maestro Puccini illustrata splendidamente da Daniela Volpari e raccontata con brio e delicatezza da Fabrizio Silei.
Prefazione di Simonetta Puccini.
La Boheme is a dramatic opera “par excellence”. How can it be told to children without betraying it and yet keeping its poetry and tragic force? Simply by transforming it into a fairy tale which exalts the funny moments and makes the terrible moments ethereal and fairy-tale like.
Readers old and young alike can confront the fundamental themes of romantic aesthetics: love, jealousy, friendship, poverty, illness and death. These are all themes that have always characterized the traditional European fairy-tale imagination with the intent of entertaining but also of reassuring through the catharsis which the fairy tale allows the young reader by becoming “an entrance into a protected world”.
Fabrizio Silei and Daniela Volpari took up this challenge and have given us a tale with extraordinary and poetic images of that which is and will remain one of the most famous operas in the world.
