​Merriman’s Playhouse
Puccini, a leading figure in the verismo style, embraced realism, which emerged from the Italian literary scene of 1875-early 1900s. Verismo, meaning 'realism', focused on depicting everyday life and human dramas like illness, lost loves, and marital conflicts, as seen in La bohème. Unlike earlier epics and myths, verismo explored the lives of ordinary people, particularly the poor. Puccini frequently adapted successful plays and novellas for his operas, such as Madam Butterfly, based on a 1898 short story, and Tosca, derived from Victorien Sardou’s 1887 play 'La Tosca'.​
