Leoncavallo’s setting of Murger’s story was written several years after the production of Puccini’s opera, and differs slightly from the latter version. The first act occurs in the Café Momus, the second in Musetta’s house, the third in Marcel’s garret, and the fourth in the studio of Rudolph. Unlike the Puccini work, the tenor part is given to Marcel, the lover of Musetta.
This is the opera in which Caruso scored his sensational success at its performance in Milan in 1898—that performance, in fact, being the turning point in his career.
The opera has never been heard here, a fact to be regretted by all who hear these specimens of the music. Operatic managers in America who have heard these superb numbers on the Victor have likely asked themselves why they have not given Leoncavallo’s opera in this country.
