Le chef-d'oeuvre de Giacomo Puccini est interprété par une distribution réunissant l'Orchestre national de France et les voix du ténor Pene Pati, des sopranos Selene Zanetti et Amina Edriss, et du baryton Alexandre Duhamel. Cette version en musique du roman initial d'Henry Murger par Puccini donne naissance à la fragile figure de Mimi. Eric Ruf, administrateur général de la Comédie-Française, offre dans sa mise en scène beaucoup d'empathie envers ses héros et le chef italien, Lorenzo Passerini, emmène avec passion les forces musicales de l'Orchestre National de France.

A group of former high school classmates meets for a reunion 15 years after graduation, only to discover that any innocence or friendship is long lost.

For his first appearance in the pit in Paris with his Artaserse ensemble, Philippe Jaroussky has chosen a masterpiece that he knows well, having sung the role of Sesto on numerous occasions, notably in the highly acclaimed Salzburg production alongside Cecilia Bartoli. As for the staging, we will welcome for the first time on Avenue Montaigne a Venetian who is used to the greatest European stages and who has undertaken his first Handel, Alcina, in the summer of 2019 in Salzburg with Ruggiero... Philippe Jaroussky. Everyone agrees on his ability to imagine delicate and highly effective dramaturgical worlds (his Barber of Seville for the Paris Opera is an irresistible visual translation of Rossini's frenzied score). His debut in opera seria with Alcina also showed his intelligence in giving coherence and emotion to the demanding arias da capo. On stage, a team familiar with the Théàtre des Champs-Elysées and this repertoire, led by a very fine trio of French women.
