La Boheme: “Yes, they call me Mimì”

We are exploring timeless arias from Giacomo Puccini’s La Boheme.

Here’s “Sì, mi chiamano Mimì” (“Yes, they call me Mimì”)

Mimì’s gentle self-portrait here is utterly endearing. She shares her simple life as a seamstress, embroidering flowers while dreaming bigger. This short aria makes us fall in love with Mimi (and the opera).
