Everyone knows and loves La Boheme. It was the second most performed opera in the entire world (in 1994), a statistic that is likely to hold true today, and also the second most commonly produced opera in the US. Listeners are treated to aria after aria of incredible melodies, key changes and colors.
The general story is as follows:
- Parisian Hipster Boy (PHB) meets Parisian Hipster Girl (PHG)
- PHB and PHG fall in love.
- PHB and PHG break up
- PHG dies.
- PHB cries.
I know I am leaving out Marcello and Musetta, but really they are supporting rolls. If you want to find out more about the opera, head over to wikipedia’s article.
