content: La Boheme in its complete form is splendid no matter what, but Callas, who is clearly at the apex of her powers, is remarkable. This opera, and this version in particular, is a must for anyone who wishes to hear the best that the art form has to offer. Giuseppe di Stephano is pretty good as well. He and Callas were emotionally close, although not in the Biblical sense, however their regard for each other comes through in what many regard as Verdi's best effort.
