Presentation
Che gelida manina, a setting by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica, was composed by Giacomo Puccini in 1895 (C Major) and premiered the year after. This aria is part of Act I of his opera, La Bohème. Many consider la Bohème as Puccini’s first major opera work. Aged 38, his composition technic has matured and his collaboration with the librettists, Illica and Giacosa (after their first opera together, Manon Lescault) reaches symbiosis. Based on a book by Henry Muger “la vie de bohème”, Puccini often evoked his own experiences as a poor art student to relate with his characters. If, Tosca, his next opera premiered in 1900, is unarguably his first verismo opera, La Bohème premises in many ways this evolution with throughout composed music, realistic language and the depiction of poverty and its consequences. |
