Giacomo Puccini's 1896 [[Opera]] ''La Bohème'', loosely based on the novel ''Scènes de la vie de bohème'' by Henri Murger, is one of the best-loved and most frequently performed operas today. It is also the (even looser) basis for the [[Rock Opera]] ''[[
It is Christmas Eve in Paris in 1830. Marcello, a painter, Rodolfo, a poet, Schaunard, a musician, and Colline, a philosopher, are cheerfully living the Bohemian life together in their garret apartment. Schaunard has brought home a veritable fortune from a musical job (the murder of an annoying parrot), and after a close call with the landlord collecting rent, they decide to go out and celebrate. Rodolfo stays behind a few minutes to finish writing an article, and his beautiful and pure-hearted upstairs neighbor Mimì enters, asking for a light for her candle. The two promptly fall in love.
