La Bohème is a 1965 West German film production of the 1896 opera of the same name by Puccini, filmed in a Milan studio and recorded at the Munich Opera.[1] The film director and producer and set designer was the Italian director Franco Zeffirelli; Herbert von Karajan conducted the chorus and orchestra of La Scala and was the artistic supervisor. This is not a stage live recording: the singers mime to their own pre-recordings.[2]
Deutsche Grammophon released the film for home media in analog VHS tape format in 1988 and in Digital Video Disc (DVD) format in 1996, 2002 and 2006.[3]
