Dear Followers,

I would like to say a warm welcome to our special La Boheme Week, here at Musica in Extenso! 

I think that everyone knows the famous story, where Mimi and Rodolfo has a tragical ending. The music of Puccini makes the drama so powerful with a remarcable orchestration and with beautiful musical themes. I decided to begin with the famous entrance of Mimi, because this aria is a basic piece of any spinto-soprano singer’s repertoire. 

Today on Musica in Extenso:

Giacomo Puccini

La Boheme, Act I

Si mi chiamano Mimi
