"La Bohème"'s cast waits its cue to get on the stage.

"But, if the world was changing, with romantic and vanguard art revealing talents even in poorer social classes, all human beings are still the same in some way. Artist, philosopher, rich, poor, ignorant, all men and women love and desire and suffer by this, and die without pity. In La Bohème, because of women's presence, the eternal repeats itself even in a world in transformation. The woman, for the man who desires her, always represent a form of more concrete reality, the one that dominates both the body and the spirit." (Pondé)
