This magnificent composition will forever evoke the memory of my dear maternal grandmother. She was cultured, loving and refined woman who adored Italian opera. My earliest recollection of Musetta's Waltz was as a young child, while sitting on her lap as she rested from preparing one of her legendary dinners. As the music filled her kitchen, the room bathed in afternoon sunlight, she scooped me up, held me with both arms in her signature warm embrace, and began to dance. She would gently whisper how beautiful I was, and give praise to God for my presence in her life. Thank you so very, very much for posting.

@@lourdesprudencio5647it IS love. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen La Boheme. I’ve seen it dozens of times, like all the opera that I’ve seen, and every time I see or hear some nuance I hadn’t before.
I adore anna netrebko's rendition of this awesome aria. She brings such an overwhelming touch of class to the stage and with a pleasant melodic charm to any aria she's ever graced :)
mywife was names after this pice of music “ Musetta” unfortunately she passed away last Oct, after 53 years together i play this often to remind me a beautiful women& such a beautiful pice of opera music thank you so much ❤️
Gorgeous and poignant. Every time I hear this song I recollect being held in my Sicilian grandmother's arms as a young child and her gently and affectionately dancing with me in her bright, sunlit kitchen. Thank you for posting. Puccini was an artistic genius who captured the human spirit with his music.
I had the honour to speak with one of Puccini’s granddaughters (since I am from Lucca, his birthplace) and they told me a lot about him. He was a music genius that had the ability to hear music even in deep silence. Love from Lucca
I'm here because I'm Italian and I have loved opera since I was little. This was a favorite of mine as a kid. Rent actually didn't bring me here. I have seen La Boheme twice (once when I was eight and once when I was seventeen) and I've never seen Rent.
Haha! Yes! I see exactly what you mean. Beautiful. Have you tried The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams? By 2:30 I'm watery eyed.th-cam.com/video/ZR2JlDnT2l8/w-d-xo.html Close your eyes, headphones on and lie back and enjoy. Same advice for my own Aurora video (but dark room and don't close your eyes!).
I listened to this on a record when I was 7 years old. It brings back great memories. It has a beautiful melody. I started playing piano then, and continue at age 73.
Belle Orleans why? you should be happy that "some tv show" exposes music like this to people who wouldnt know it otherwise. not everyone knows everything and for a tv show to showcase a song like this is a good thing, it brings new audience to the piece.
I see your point ando! It is definitely a positive thing that a TV show would showcase a piece if music like this! I guess it just saddens me that our society seems so caught up with social media and technology that the only way they tend discover fine arts nowadays is through stumbling across it on a TV show.
How many unforgettable pieces of music from Puccini!!! So grand, so subtle and so magnificent... love the original in opera, but this is great no matter what variation you do with it.
Okay, who cares why we're all here? For some reason or another, we were all brought together to listen to this gorgeous piece of music. Whether RENT, Moonstruck, or love of Puccini brought us here, we all have the capability to appreciate this song nonetheless.
Roger literally played one of the major musical themes from this. It is a musician joke considering Rent is a modern (well at the time modern) adaptation of the opera "La Boheme".
I watched rent first as a kid. I didn't love it but I noticed this tune really stuck out to me. I immediately googled it and that led to me watching la boheme... And now I'm a voice major preparing to sing selections from this opera.
This is so beautiful i just want to take a long walk in a nice grassy field, with couples sitting and laughing, where the air is crisp and this song is playing silently in the background.
In a grocery store many years ago, I was whistling the song Don't You Know by Della Reese and an elderly lady came over to me and said that that was her favorite aria.. She saw my puzzled expression and explained the entire plot of Puccini's La Boheme
Ha ha ha, funny. I'm always finding lyrics for melodies that I can't remember what opera they originated in; I used to sing ' You....Are...Him....the man I searched through life for, the man kissed me at the door. ha...Now we know the real story behind our wanderings ? "An Old German's Daughter" LyndaFayeSmusic@Yahoo
Such a great-looking guy. When Arturo Toscanini asked him why he was crying when they both attended a terrible provincial performance of Boheme, Toscanini said, Why are you crying? Because it's so bad?" Puccini replied "No, because it's so beautiful."
Sono d'accordo, il più grande compositore romantico di tutti i tempi, meraviglioso e per di più italiano, grazie Puccini ci hai regalato melodie straordinarie, struggenti e passionali, proprio come eri tu!
We are here because the music is sublime timeless and has a message for the young or old those in love heart broken or eternally optimistic. Love you all
My god, I was just chilling, playing a bit of creative minecraft, listening to an auto generated youtube playlist and this beauty comes out of no where.
Listening to this while looking at this portrait of Puccini, you can see in his eyes, how moved and mesmerized he is by the music that he can hear inside his head
Such an amazing and sweet piece..... I knew of this song before I had ever seen MoonStruck, but MoonStruck is probably my number 1 all time favourite movie.
I come back to this so often. Maybe because the sweetest and most beautiful days that have blessed moments of my life have felt so much like the way this sounds. So delightful 😊.
I would love to see La Boheme! After reading the synopsis and seeing how close Rent followed along with the story, it would be interesting to see the original work. :D
Wonderful... Magic... Impossible to prevent dreams even when awake and the soul leaves the body static and enraptured to dance floating like a feather carried by the soft breeze of the paradise of fantasy! wonderful fantasy🥀🌷
I first heard this song, sung by the great Della Reese in the 60's, not knowing it was from a famous opera. Then again in "Moonstruck" during the " La Boheme" scene. Beautiful song.
This marvelous music makes me go so deep inside me that I can't explain what I really feel, it's like if my heart is going to explode. It's beautiful in extreme. Thank you for sharing it.
Love can neither be made nor destroyed, it is, as a cloud wandering, looking for two to rain on, then it is gone. Few can capture in song, what memory has left. Love at any age is better than eternal life without.
The river flows, it sings a song, A melody that's ever strong, It dances past the rocks and reeds, And whispers secrets to the trees. Its waters shimmer in the sun, A symphony of light begun, And as it weaves its way downstream, The river tells of hopes and dreams. Its voice is gentle, yet profound, A lullaby of soothing sound, It tells of journeys yet to be, And fills the air with mystery. The river's song is never done, It plays from dawn until the sun, And in its depths, we can behold, A magic story, yet untold. So listen well, and hear the tune, That flows beneath the sky and moon, For in the river's endless flow, There's wisdom we may come to know. The river's song will never fade, A timeless melody it's made, And in its rhythm, we can find, A peace that soothes the troubled mind.
It's because of these annoying geniuses that I find myself utterly incapable of creating any tune of my own inside my head, because all these great works keep coming back to mind...

Silence is painful after this...
I hate it when a piece of music is so good that you just feel empty after it's finished, and you wish it could have gone on forever.
so true Tadros - you said "everything" to say about such a work of art - no more comment - Thanks for your right sensitivity

@@marcela21884 Rent is an updated version of La Boheme. It centers around struggling bohemian artists living in New York during the AIDS epidemic.
1:44 - 1:51 ..... I felt that in my brain. It started in the stem and just worked it's way up and out with the crescendo. Amazing.

I need a 3 hours version of this
Listen to the entire opera, then :) You'll love it
Mee too
Sitting in La Scala listening to Puccini was a dream come true. My grandmother never missed any of his operas.
well. im here because La Boheme was the first opera i saw when i was 18 years old. and remains the best one since.
Nice to see someone who isn't here because of some TV show, but because Puccini composed brilliant music!!!
Also for me! The first and the best

Such a great-looking guy. When Arturo Toscanini asked him why he was crying when they both attended a terrible provincial performance of Boheme, Toscanini said, Why are you crying? Because it's so bad?" Puccini replied "No, because it's so beautiful."
I've cried over very beautiful things in my life too. And yes he was very handsome.
Gorgeous music, loveable film.
"Where have you been? - "I don´t know. I don´t know where I´ve been and I don´t know where I´m going. Right?"

Ma come si fa a mettere “non mi piace”...io davvero non ho parole. Un capolavoro.
This has to be by far the most beautiful piece of music I’ve heard
I just saw La Boheme tonight, this is a melody that just sticks with you when you leave the theater, absolutely gorgeous :)

The river flows, it sings a song, A melody that's ever strong, It dances past the rocks and reeds, And whispers secrets to the trees.
Its waters shimmer in the sun, A symphony of light begun, And as it weaves its way downstream, The river tells of hopes and dreams.
Its voice is gentle, yet profound, A lullaby of soothing sound, It tells of journeys yet to be, And fills the air with mystery.
The river's song is never done, It plays from dawn until the sun, And in its depths, we can behold, A magic story, yet untold.
So listen well, and hear the tune, That flows beneath the sky and moon, For in the river's endless flow, There's wisdom we may come to know.
The river's song will never fade, A timeless melody it's made, And in its rhythm, we can find, A peace that soothes the troubled mind.
