La bohème

 ​Marcello the painter, and Rodolfo the poet, explore the varying degrees of love and infatuation; Marcello with the temptress, Musetta, and Rodolfo with their neighbor, the lovely and modest Mimi. The merry Parisian band including Schaunard the Musician and Colline the philosopher, all go through the extremes of the human existence with experiences of both love and loss. With lush harmony, thrilling vocal virtuosity, and heart-wrenching passion, this timeless story of love among young bohemians is one of the best loved, and most widely produced operas of all time.
