"La Bohème est un opéra en quatre tableaux1 de Giacomo Puccini, sur un livret en italien de Giacosa et Illica, d’après le roman d’Henri Murger, Scènes de la vie de bohème, et son adaptation théâtrale La Vie de bohème. Composé entre 1892 et 1895, il fut créé le 1er février 1896 au Teatro Regio de Turin, sous la direction d'Arturo Toscanini.
L'œuvre ne doit pas être confondue avec l'opéra homonyme de Ruggero Leoncavallo, créé l'année suivante et qui est rarement représenté."
La bohème (French pronunciation: [la bɔ.ɛm], Italian: [la boˈɛm]) is an opera in four acts, composed by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, based on Scènes de la vie de bohème by Henri Murger. The world premiere performance of La bohème was in Turin on 1 February 1896 at the Teatro Regio, conducted by the young Arturo Toscanini; its U.S. premiere took place the next year, 1897, in Los Angeles. Since then, La bohème has become part of the standard Italian opera repertory and is one of the most frequently performed operas worldwide.
In 1946, fifty years after the opera's premiere, Toscanini conducted a performance of it on radio with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. This performance was eventually released on records and on Compact Disc. It is the only recording of a Puccini opera by its original conductor (see Recordings below).
La Bohème è un'opera in quattro quadri di Giacomo Puccini, su libretto di Giuseppe Giacosa e Luigi Illica.
Ispirato al romanzo di Henri Murger Scene della vita di Bohème, il libretto ebbe una gestazione abbastanza laboriosa, per la difficoltà di adattare le situazioni e i personaggi del testo originario ai rigidi schemi e all'intelaiatura di un'opera musicale. L'orchestrazione della partitura procedette invece speditamente e fu completata nel dicembre 1895.
Meno di due mesi dopo, il 1º febbraio 1896, La Bohème fu rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro Regio di Torino, con Evan Gorga, Cesira Ferrani, Antonio Pini-Corsi e Michele Mazzara, diretta dal ventinovenne maestro Arturo Toscanini, con buon successo di pubblico, mentre la critica ufficiale, dimostratasi all'inizio piuttosto ostile, dovette presto allinearsi ai generali consensi.
L'opera ha la stessa fonte e lo stesso titolo dell'omonimo spettacolo di Ruggero Leoncavallo, con cui al tempo Puccini ingaggiò una sfida.
La Bohème [labɔˈɛm] ist eine Oper in vier Bildern, komponiert von Giacomo Puccini. Das Libretto wurde von Luigi Illica und Giuseppe Giacosa nach dem Roman Les scènes de la vie de bohème von Henri Murger verfasst. Die Uraufführung fand 1896 im Teatro Regio in Turin unter Arturo Toscanini statt. Trotz schlechter Kritiken nach der Uraufführung wurde La Bohème ein Welterfolg. Sie gehört zum Standard-Repertoire vieler Häuser und ist eine der weltweit am häufigsten aufgeführten Opern.[1] La Bohème steht dem Verismo nahe, es geht um Leben, Leiden und Lieben von gewöhnlichen Menschen. Sie ist die vierte der zwölf Opern Puccinis und gilt vielen als sein Meisterwerk."

Opera, Paris! I really love this place, the opera is very beautiful and it is a must see if you come to Paris! I went a bit dramatic on this one! I woke up pretty early to not have too many people in my frame. Do you guys wake up early to do Cityscape?
The Semperoper is the opera house of the Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden (Saxon State Opera) and the concert hall of the Staatskapelle Dresden (Saxon State Orchestra). It is also home to the Semperoper Ballett. The building is located on the Theaterplatz near the Elbe River in the historic centre of Dresden, Germany.
The opera house was originally built by the architect Gottfried Semper in 1841. After a devastating fire in 1869, the opera house was rebuilt, partly again by Semper, and completed in 1878. The opera house has a long history of premieres, including major works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.
The first opera house at the location of today's Semperoper was built by the architect Gottfried Semper. It opened on 13 April 1841 with an opera by Carl Maria von Weber. The building style itself is debated among many, as it has features that appear in three styles: early Renaissance and Baroque, with Corinthian style pillars typical of Greek classical revival. Perhaps the most suitable label for this style would be eclecticism, where influences from many styles are used, a practice most common during this period. Nevertheless, the opera building, Semper's first, was regarded as one of the most beautiful European opera houses.
Following a devastating fire in 1869, the citizens of Dresden immediately set about rebuilding their opera house. They demanded that Gottfried Semper do the reconstruction, even though he was then in exile because of his involvement in the May 1849 uprising in Dresden. The architect had his son, Manfred Semper, build the second opera house using his plans. Completed in 1878, it was built in Neo-Renaissance style. During the construction period, performances were held at the Gewerbehaussaal, which opened in 1870.
The building is considered to be a prime example of "Dresden Baroque" architecture. It is situated on the Theatre Square in central Dresden on the bank of the Elbe River. On top of the portal there is a Panther quadriga with a statue of Dionysos. The interior was created by architects of the time, such as Johannes Schilling. Monuments on the portal depict artists, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, William Shakespeare, Sophocles, Molière and Euripides. The building also features work by Ernst Rietschel and Ernst Julius Hähnel. In the pre-war years, the Semperoper premiered many of the works of Richard Strauss.
In 1945, during the last months of World War II, the building was largely destroyed again, this time by the bombing of Dresden and subsequent firestorm, leaving only the exterior shell standing. Exactly 40 years later, on 13 February 1985, the opera's reconstruction was completed. It was rebuilt to be almost identical to its appearance before the war, but with the benefit of new stage machinery and an accompanying modern rear service building. The Semperoper reopened with the opera that was performed just before the building's destruction in 1945, Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz. When the Elbe flooded in 2002, the building suffered heavy water damage. With substantial help from around the world, it reopened in December of that year.
