La Boheme, Opera Postcard

This opera is composed by Giacomo Puccini. The story is set in Paris. The opera is about the love between Mimi, the silk flower maker, and the poet Rodolfo. They meet when Mimi asks for a match to relight her candle. Of course, they immediately fall in love with each other, but Rodolfo later wants to leave Mimi because of her flirtatious behaviour. However, Mimi also happens to be mortally ill, and Rodolfo also feels guilt, since their life together likely had worsened her health even further. They reunite for a brief moment before Mimi's light is snuffed out. © 2011 JEB Design, Inc. All rights reserved.
