La Boheme: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

* [["I Am" Song]]: "Che gelida manina"/"Mi chiamano Mimì".

* [[Ill Girl]]: Oh, ''Mimì''.

* [[I'm Cold So Cold]]: Invoked, then poignantly subverted. As she lies dying, Mimì is 'cold, so cold' and longs at least to warm her hands. Her friends rush out to buy her a fur muff. She is happy, and murmurs as she drifts off to sleep that she feels warm at last. {{spoiler|These are her last words - she dies quietly, while the dramatic focus is on the other characters.}}

* [[I'm Cold... So Cold...]]: Invoked, then poignantly subverted. As she lies dying, Mimì is 'cold, so cold' and longs at least to warm her hands. Her friends rush out to buy her a fur muff. She is happy, and murmurs as she drifts off to sleep that she feels warm at last. {{spoiler|These are her last words - she dies quietly, while the dramatic focus is on the other characters.}}

* [[Incurable Cough of Death]]: Mimì. This horrible lung ailment does not prevent her from singing fortissimo, however.

* [[Innocent Flower Girl]]

Line 30:

* [[Meaningful Echo]]: Several. On her deathbed, Mimì explicitly quotes from "Che gelida manina" and "Mi chiamano Mimì" as she recalls how she and Rodolfo met; and at the very end, the music echoes the "Addio, addio" from the end of "Vecchia zimarra, senti".

* [[Meet Cute]]: Mimì and Rodolfo meet when she wants to ask him to light her candle and they end up in complete darkness.

* [[Minor Character Major Song]]: Parpignol.

* [[Minor Character, Major Song]]: Parpignol.

* [[Mood Dissonance]]: "Dunque è propio finita!"
