la boheme

so...i went to the opera with my mom and my sister last night. we went to this italian opera called la boheme.
basic plot: guy(rudolfo) meets girl(mimi). the two of them aren't exactly in a great place economically, but they still fall in love. then, rudolfo finds out that mimi's sick. it's not that hard to guess what happens, but i don't want to spoil it for you(hint, "rent" is based off it).
anyways, it was one of the best shows i've ever seen. the four leads all had amazing voices and were absolutely perfect for the parts they played. my personal favorite was the person who played musetta(the on again, off again girlfriend of rudolfo's friend, mascetto). she was really good and acted just like i imagined the character would act.
i can't even explain how amazing it was. by the end, i was sobbing because it was so sad and the music was so beautiful. all of you should try to see la boheme at least once. after you watch it, you understand where a lot of musicals get their ideas/theme musics from. it's just that good.
