This famous classic presents the doomed love story upon which the musical “Rent” was based. It’s a perfect introductory opera: The music is gorgeous, and the lavish sets designed by Franco Zeffirelli are somewhat legendary — especially the bohemian Paris street scene. It’s one of the most frequently performed operas at the Met — and probably everywhere.
