This was a Sydney Opera production with David Hobson and Cheryl Barker. The director, Baz Luhrmann, changed the setting to post-WWII, and it kind of works. Hobson's tenor is higher than most and doesn't appeal to everyone, but he can hit any high note beautifully. To hear more of him, he was the lead in Orphee et Euridice the following year in a role written for a countertenor, and he did it well - and shirtless after the first act! The DVDs for both Boheme and Orphee are available online.

Hey People,the producers and writers of Rent did´t rip off out of Puccini because he didn't write the libretto,Luigi Illica and Giusseppe Giacosa were the playwriters based on a novel by Henry Murger.In fact there's another Boheme written by the also great italian opera composer Leoncavallo,it exist a german operetta "Das vielchen vom Montmartre" and a spanish zarzuela "Bohemios" all based on the same book. I guess the rights of the novelist expired.Excuse my english I speak spanish.
