La Boheme

La bohème (/ˌlɑː boʊˈɛm/;[1] Italian: [la boˈɛm]) is an opera in four acts,[N 1] composed by Giacomo Puccini between 1893 and 1895 to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, based on Scènes de la vie de bohème (1851) by Henri Murger.[2] The story is set in Paris around 1830 and shows the Bohemian lifestyle (known in French as 'la bohème') of a poor seamstress and her artist friends.
