Summary:
The story might be classic and eternal, but it's always fresh--especially with a cast like this one. As Mimì and Rodolfo, Licia Albanese and Giuseppe Di Stefano will make you feel like you're falling in love for the very first time. The headiness of the first meeting, the almost unbearable pain of parting, the poignancy of reconciliation--it's all conveyed with a vividness that will thrill and then break your heart. Hilde Gueden sparkles as the tempestuous Musetta, who sets her cap for Frank Guarrera (Marcello). The great Cesare Siepi is Colline.

Questo mar rosso
Pensier profundo!
Legna! Sigari! Bordò!
Si può! Chi è là? Benoit!
Timido in gioventù
Chi è là? Scusi. Una donna!
Che gelida manina!
Sì, Mi chiamano Mimì
Ehi! Rodolfo!
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
Aranci, datteri! Caldi I marroni!
Questa è Mimì
Parpignol, Parpignol, Parpignol, Parpignol!
Signorina Mimì
Oh! Essa! Musetta!
Quando me'n vo', soletta per la via (Musetta's waltz)
Caro! Fuori il danaro!
Ohe, la, le guardie! Aprite! Ohe, la
Sa dirmi, scusi, qual'è l'osteria
Mimì!
Marcello, finalmente!
Mimì è tanto malata!
D'onde liete uscì
Dunque è proprio finita!
In un coupè?
O Mimì tu più non torni
Che ora sia?
The Quadrille
C'è Mimì
C'è Mimì che mi seque e che sta male.
Vecchia zimarra, senti,
Sono andati? Fingevo di dormire
Che ha detto il medico?
