La Bohème: An Overture · after Giacomo Puccini (The Overture Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Puccini's La Bohème, 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 café on Christmas Eve, a quarrel at a tollgate in the snow, and a return to the garret that is too late — La Bohème: 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.
