The premiere of this opera took place less than a year since the production of Puccini’s Boheme on May 6, 1897 in Venice. Leoncavallo, who is also the author of the libretto, contrary to Puccini, adheres more strictly to the story and atmosphere of Murger’s original literary work. While Puccini’s opera was staged innumerable times here, Leoncavallo’s opera will be heard in the Czech Republic after more than a hundred years. This opera was first performed in Prague in 1898 on the stage of our own theatre (at that time Neues deutches Theater).
Premiere: Mar 13, 2003

The Prague State Opera – Theatre History in Pictures and Dates
The Prague State Opera in cooperation with the Slovart publishing house publishes a representative book tracking the history of this significant cultural institution since its opening in 1888 till the end of the 2002/2003 season. The publication called The Prague State Opera – Theatre History in Pictures and Dates is focusing solely on the opera featured at the scene, even though the theatre under various names also served to presentation of drama plays, operettas and ballet. The Prague State opera plans to publish the volumes concentrating on those genres in the next years.
