| La Boheme : 4 of 5 | |

 I always say the La Boheme is the best "first opera" for anyone to see - it has an easy-to-follow story, lots of comedy, amazing sweeping melodies, and a dash of tragedy to get someone used to what opera is all about. I think this was my fourth production of La Boheme, and Austin Lyric Opera did a fine job (maybe not my favorite of the four, but at least second place!). While I enjoyed the lead characters, I think the baritone philosopher stole the show for me - his aria to his old coat was amazing. The sets were great - lots of creative storefronts (there was even a dentist with a giant tooth hanging there), and the whole stage came to life during the procession in the street. A wonderful finale to this year's opera season!
