A source of Inspiration for a century in all artistic fields, theatre, cinema, musical comedy..., the novel *La Vie
de Bohéme” by Henri Murger is also at the origin of two operas composed simultaneously in Italy and bearing
the same title : ‘La Boheme”.
“Let him compose, | will also compose. The public will judge." The public judged, warmly welcoming the work of
Gioccomo Puccini. The opera was conducted for the world premiere by Arturo Toscanini who, because of his
young age, was not yet appreciated by the composer. Some papers of music critics were however more severe.
One of them even wrote: "Boheme, failed opera, will not go far. More than the public of the erection (February
1, 1896), history judged. Created the following year, “La Bohéme” by Ruggero Leoncavallo wos sacrificed, like
the friendship between the two men, on the altar of fierce competition,
As a great specialist of the lyrical repertoire, Jean-Christophe Maltot signs with “La Fantaisie sur La Bohéme",
his fifth fantasy dedicated to the Italian composer, putting his pen at the service of the flautist’s musicality
and virtuosity. Far from taking the listener into his personal universe, such as Liszt or Chopin in their fantasies
for piano or even Paul Taffanel in his fontosies on the Freischatz, all three affixing their cesthetics as a
watermark of the initicl opera, Jean-Christophe Maltot uses Puccinicn motifs and themes until reaching a
cretion full of humility. So he seems to tell us: if Puccini had himself written @ fantasy on his own opera,
perhaps it would look closely or remotely like this one.
From then on, taking advantage of this touching fidelity for the original opera, the performer will be immersed
in the atmosphere of Paris in the 1830s - "I don't know anyone who described Paris of that time as well as
Puccini in La Bohéme" had said Debussy - and will be able to rediscover the moving airs of La Bohéme, take
turns in the roles of Mimi and Rodolfo, sometimes fiery as in the love duet (act |), sometimes desperate (air of
Mimi from aet Ill ) or in a mischievous and sensual Musetta (act Il)
