Puccini's La bohème, one of the world's most famous verismo operas, in a traditional production by Jonathan Miller, full of realism, inspired by the photographs of Brassaï and Cartier-Bresson from the 1930s. Marc Piollet conducts the Liceu Orchestra in a Bohème that stands out for the excellence of its cast: in the role of Mimì, Eleonora Buratto, and in that of Musetta, Olga Kluchynska, winner of the 2015 edition of the Tenor Viñas Competition. The group of bohemians is led by tenor Saimir Pirgu as Rodolfo, and Marcello by baritone Gabriel Bermúdez.

The love story between Rodolfo, the poet, and the sweet Mimì, a neighbouring embroiderer, sets the pace of the work, which is set in Paris in 1830, a hundred years before Miller's wager. In the Latin Quartier, a group of bohemians, including the protagonist, with his companions Marcello, Schaunard and Colline, live in a garret in the cold and hunger, unable to pay the rent. The counterpoint to the protagonist couple, who are torn between jealousy and fear of the girl's illness, are the couple Marcello, a painter, and Musetta, a femme fatale who ends up helping Mimì in difficult times. The opera features great musical moments, such as the famous Act I aria "Che gelida manina", in which Rodolfo warms the hand of a helpless Mimì who has come to the artists' house to ask for matches. After the poet introduces himself in "Chi son? Sono un poeta", it is the girl's turn to sing "Mi chiamano Mimì", a page full of tenderness that reflects the idealism that surrounds the plot.
