What is the name of opera?

La bohème is an opera in four acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica. The libretto is based on _Scènes de la vie de bohème_ by Henri Murger. It tells the story of four friends living in Paris in the mid-19th century—Rodolfo, Marcello, Colline and Schaunard—who struggle with poverty but still manage to find joy in their lives. The opera features some of Puccini's most famous arias, including "Che gelida manina", "Si, mi chiamano Mimi", and "O soave fanciulla". It is one of the most popular operas in the world, and has been performed countless times since its premiere in 1896.
