Rising Polish tenor Piotr Beczala interprets one of the most beautiful arias composed for the lyric stage, Che gelida manina from Puccini's La Boheme.
Rodolfo, a struggling poet, falls in love with Mimi at first sight. He eagerly tells her about himself, his life, his dreams and what he does for a living.
"I live, in my carefree poverty, like a prince:
I squander rhymes and hymns of love.
When it comes to visions and dreams,
I build castles in the air.I have the soul of a millionaire."
Beautiful, isn't it?
