Set against the backdrop of 1830s Paris, "La Bohème" follows four impoverished artists surviving with little more than friendship, passion and their love for their art. When Rodolfo, a poet, and Mimi, a young seamstress, meet, the two are drawn into a tumultuous and passionate affair with a love that can only be broken by death. Emotional and dramatic, it’s no wonder Puccini’s most celebrated opera has transcended the genre, inspiring both a ballet and the Broadway hit musical "RENT."
