Story told by Stephen Williams
(Arnold Matters broadcasts by permission of the Governors of Sadler's Wells)
La- Boheme is a marriage of true minds— or perhaps we had better use the more Bohemian word ' romance.' There is a forlorn, wistful fragrance about Murger's book, which Puccini has magically reproduced in his enchanting music. Many, indeed, consider it his perfect score, and it does reflect in a matchless degree his three main qualities: his sentiment, his stage-craft, and his humour (Bohemia would be an uninhabitable country if its tears were not so quickly dissipated by the laughter of irrepressible youth). Words and music recapture perfectly the atmosphere of the Latin Quarter in the eighteen-thirties; but to those of us who first heard it in our youth this opera will always speak of our own vie de Boheme wherever we made it.
