“Barrière d’Enfer

Dawn breaks and snow falls on a chilly February morning, as Mimì comes in search of Marcello. Mimì is overcome with coughing. She pours out her heart to Marcello, telling him how Rodolfo is making their life miserable with his obsessive jealousy. She asks Marcello to help them separate. When Rodolfo emerges from the inn she hides. Rodolfo confesses to Marcello that the real reason he wants to leave is that, because of his poverty which has brought on her sickness, Mimì is dying. Now he is consumed with guilt. Mimì overhears and cries out which forces Rodolfo to comfort her. They decide to wait until spring arrives to part.”
