*La Bohème (1896)

As a young man, Puccini wrote certain orchestral and chamber works and sacred choral works including a [[Mass (music)|Mass]] which is heard occasionally. As a composer of operas that involve the audience in a drama, usually about ordinary people with ordinary emotions, he is there with the greatest of them. The last quarter of an hour or so of the first act of La Bohème, where the two main characters meet, introduce themselves and fall in love, is most affecting – you are drawn towards them almost inevitably. A measure of its popularity can be gauged by the fact that a production by Baz Lurhmann of La Bohème ran for 228 performances on Broadway.
