| The two operas I saw last week were premièred just over two years apart, Humperdinck's Hansel und Gretel at Christmas 1893, Puccini's La Bohème in February 1896. They lived la vie bohème, little knowing that the loft spaces where they ate, shagged, staged their happenings and wrote their poems would, less than half a century later, be occupied by hedge-fund dudes and the like. In its first decade cinema produced a filmed Ring Cycle, Salome, La Bohème, Tristan and Isolde, Manon, a Russian Queen of Spades and numerous other opera films. |
