12. Musetta and Marcello
The waltz works a treat, thrilling the Parisians and wooing Marcello. The sultry Musetta tries to get rid of Alcindoro by pretending her shoe doesn't fit properly, so sends him away to fix it. No sooner has he left, she falls into Marcello's arms and the party exit the café, leaving poor Alcindoro to pick up the bill. Photo: ENO / Thomas Bowles
