RENT
Rent: A Powerful Rock Opera About Love, Loss, and Liberation
Based on Puccini’s La Bohème, Rent is a groundbreaking rock opera that tells the story of eight young artists living in New York City’s East Village during the height of the AIDS epidemic. Struggling with poverty, illness, and uncertainty, these friends hold tight to creativity, love, and each other as they search for meaning and connection in a world that often rejects them.
Filled with unforgettable music and raw emotion, Rent explores the pain of loss, the joy of community, and the urgency of living for today. It remains one of the most iconic and inspiring musicals of the modern era—a celebration of chosen family, resilience, and the enduring power of love.
