La Boheme, Giacomo Puccini.

Next to Versi’s Aida, Giamcomo Puccini’s La Boheme is the most pupular opera ever written. Performances of Aida, La Boheme, Carmen, and Don Giovanni – the four operas most often performed – constitute approximately 75 percent of the yearly schedule of operas throughout the world.

This volume contains everything the operagoer needs to derive full satisfaction from La Boheme except the musical score itself. Most important, it provides the complete text of the Italian libretto, just as it is actually sung; that is, where a singer repeats a phrase several times, each of the repetitions is given here. And facing the Italian text is a completely new translation of the libretto into modern, idiomatic English.
