The Scene at Cafe Momus from Puccini's "La Boheme"

Musetta walks off with all the honors and plays her old boyfriend like a violin.

La Boheme was yet another Opera that was blasted by the critics and public purveyors of moral outrage because it took place in a contemporary setting, showing the “grittier” side of Paris.

Also “Carmen”. Same thing.

Funny, but those three Operas (Traviata, Boheme, and Carmen) are in my top five favorite operas.

My other two favorites (Faust and Aida) passed the censors early on because they were set in far away times and places. As if the only folks who committed Sex, Adultery, Murder, and Mayhem only existed in mythical times!
