Azerbaijan’s State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater continues to familiarize Baku audience with world-famous opera and ballet starts.

The theatre invited leading soloist of the State Academic Bolshoi Theatre Alisher Navoi, People's Artist of Uzbekistan, Ramiz Usmanov and leading soloist of the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre of the Republic of Belarus Vladimir Gromov to perform in opera "La Boheme" by Giacomo Puccini on February 4, Trend Life reported.

Azerbaijani artists Ali Askerov, Afag Abbasova,Inara Babayev, Tural Agasiev and Talat Huseynov will also join them on the Baku stage,.

The orchestra will be conducted by People's Artist of Azerbaijan, Javanshir Jafarov.

La bohème is an opera in four acts, composed by Giacomo Puccini.

The libretto is based on Henri Murger's novel, Scènes de la vie de bohème, a collection of vignettes portraying young bohemians living in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1840s.

Although usually called a novel, it has no unified plot. Like the 1849 play by Murger and Théodore Barrière, the opera's libretto focuses on the relationship between Rodolfo and Mimì, ending with her death.
