La Boheme

14. Rodolfo breaks down

Rodolfo, who's been asleep in the tavern, wakes up in search of Marcello. Mimì quickly hides in the shadows, as Rodolfo explains his reasons for leaving her. Initially he blames her fickleness, but eventually breaks down and explains he hasn't been entirely honest... Photo: ENO / Thomas Bowles
