La bohème (Bohemian Life) is an opera in four acts by Giacomo Puccini, with libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica. It was composed between 1893 and 1895, with further revisions in 1896. It premiered on 1 February 1896 at the Teatro Regio in Turin.


Budapest is proud of possessing one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world. The opening performance was held in the neo-Renaissance building, the jewel of the avenue, in 1884 after nine years of construction. The staircase and the auditorium of the palace, designed by one of the best architects of those days Miklós Ybl, are decorated with frescos of eminent Hungarian painters. The first director was Ferenc Erkel, Gustav Mahler held this post for several years. Puccini directed the premiere of two of his operas here.
