INTRODUCTION TO PUCCINI
With the release of Andrea Bocelli's first full-length opera
recording, "La Boheme," many music lovers who've never encountered a
complete opera before will take the plunge. And in his tragicomic
portrait of the lives of a circle of young bohemians, Giacomo Puccini
created what is in many ways the quintessential opera--which also
became the inspiration for one of the most successful musicals of the
1990s, "Rent." "La Boheme" makes a perfect entree for the budding
opera lover. Try out our Get Started in Classical feature--which
includes an audio tour--and explore Puccini's "La Boheme."
