THE DEATH OF MIMI
occupy an attic in the Quartier Latin, where they live and work together. Improvident, reckless and careless, these happy-go-lucky Bohemians find a joy in merely living, being full of faith in themselves.
Rudolph makes the acquaintance of Mimi, a little flower-maker; Marcel meets the gay Musetta, who plays fast and loose with him.

In the scenes of careless gaiety is interwoven a touch of pathos; and the music is in turn lively and tender, with a haunting sweetness that is most fascinating.
