Segment 2, beginning at 23:35: From humble beginnings to world fame
What began as a loose collection of stories about Paris' Latin Quarter in the 1840s has evolved into a beloved American musical, a Spanish zarzuela, and, of course, an operatic masterpiece that's soon to hit a Kansas City stage. We trace the surprising history of Pucchini's "La Boheme."
- David Charles Abell, "La Boheme" guest conductor, Lyric Opera of Kansas City
