In a freezing Parisian garret, the penniless poet Rodolfo meets the seamstress Mimì when she comes to his door for a light, and they fall instantly in love. Together with their bohemian friends, they share the joys and hardships of youth in the Latin Quarter. But when Mimì falls gravely ill with tuberculosis, Rodolfo's helplessness and jealousy drive them apart — only for their love to be renewed in a heartbreaking final reunion. Puccini's most beloved opera is the definitive portrait of young love, poverty, and loss.
