Whatever happened to romance, you ask?
Rudolfo lives in poverty with his friends in a garret apartment. They leave him to write while they go celebrate the season on the streets of Paris. There is a knock at the door and Mimi's, his neighbor, candle has gone out. As they talk, she drops her key and kneels down to find it on the floor. Rudolfo, seeing and opportunity, puts out his own candle and in the dark bends down to help her find it. Their hands touch and his first words are, "You're little hand is freezing."
Look 19 minutes in and go until the end of the act at 35:27. This one of the most famous love duets in all of opera. Mimi, however, has a cough, a sign of tuberculosis.

Ok, if you don't watch anything else watch from 1:51 to the end. Musetta (a former floozy with a change of heart due to Mimi's goodness) comes in to tell them that Mimi has collapsed on the stairs. They call a doctor, and get medicine and a muff to warm her hands...

I knew this opera, 'La Boheme' by Puccini in part before I saw the whole thing. I have to admit that at the end I cried like a baby, not because it was sad, but because it was just so beautiful. The Bohemians were starving artists in Paris who preferred poverty to being 'Philistines' and selling out their art for money.

That'd be perfect.
Pork chops, rice and brussels sprouts in my wife's garlic butter sauce for supper tonight.
Yum.
