La Bohème: An Overture - after Giacomo Puccini

By Wilson Pruitt

Puccini's La Boh me, retold as a novel. Paris, the 1830s: a poet, a painter, a philosopher, and a musician share a freezing garret and almost no money - until a seamstress with a cough and a cold hand knocks on the door for a light. Across a single winter - a snuffed candle, a crowded caf on Christmas Eve, a quarrel at a tollgate in the snow, and a return to the garret that is too late - La Boh me: An Overture gives the most beloved of operas the inwardness only a novel can hold: the youth you only know you had once it is over.

Part of the Overture Series - operas told as novels, written to be read in the weeks before you go, or while the music plays. Paced to Karajan's 1972 recording.
