Rent is a rock musical, loosely based on Puccini's opera La Bohème. It tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in New York City under the shadow of HIV.
Many of the characters and plot elements are drawn from Puccini's La Bohème. Below are how the characters link between RENT and La Bohème:
La Bohème is a story about the lives of young poor artists just like RENT. Tuberculosis, the disease of Puccini's masterpiece is replaced by HIV/AIDS in RENT.
