About La Bohème(opera)
Hohenstein, Adolf (1854-1928). Illustrateur
Giacomo Puccini’s *La Bohème* is a four-act opera set in Paris in the early 19th century, tracing a circle of artists and a young seamstress as love, illness, and rent money press in on daily life. In New York, the piece has long been part of the city’s operatic bloodstream, returning regularly since its early 20th-century arrival at the Metropolitan Opera. Now it’s heard at The Center at West Park in a production by Amore Opera. Puccini’s realism still lands because the music refuses to treat poverty as scenery.
