Title NameBoheme, La: Act II, Musetta's Waltz: Quando me'n vo' (soprano)
Marketing CopyLA BOHÈME, one of the most beloved and commercially-successful operas, is based on the 1851 novel Scenes of Bohemian Life by Henri Murger. With a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) worked on it from 1893 to 1895. It first appeared at the Teatro Regio in Turin on February 1, 1896, conducted by 28-year-old Arturo Toscanini. Weighed negatively against Turin’s recent Italian premiere of the Wagner opera GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG, it received a lukewarm response from audience and critics. A few months later, concertgoers filled opera houses on both sides of the Atlantic to hear it. In Act II, Musetta sings the flirtatious Quando me’n vo’, alternately known as Musetta’s Waltz, bragging of her beauty which evokes yearning and desire in those who stop to look.
