The first opera to reveal Puccini’s true genius, La Boheme relates the loves and trials of a group of impoverished artists in mid-19th-century Paris. La Boheme straddles the divide between comedy and tragedy, and its music has a distinctively bittersweet quality. Puccini’s imaginative treatment of character and situation, his sure instinct for dramatic and comic effects and, above all, his radiant, supremely expressive musical portraiture have helped make La Boheme one of the world’s most popular operas. Presented in Italian with English supertitles and orchestra.
