The Secret Teachings of Opera | Lust and Fornication in La Bohème (Act I)

  • Summary

  • While revered throughout the world for its impassioned arias and romantic motifs, La Bohème conveys troubling messages regarding the nature and trajectory of modern living, particularly concerning sexual relations. Discover how Puccini, a Masonic initiate, encoded within his supercilious and compulsive characters a profound warning to those who would seek to enter the spiritual path. By flirting with presumption, indulgence, and desire, the opera's characters enter the wide and broad gate that leads to disaster; see how to avoid the pitfalls of contemporary existence so as to enter the straight and narrow way that leads to spiritual life, and which few actually find (Matthew 7:13-14).
