I'm not really familiar with La Boheme, can someone help me out?

The East Village Opera Company does a aria from the opera entitled "Che Gelinda Manina." Yet, I'm not sure where this would fit with RENT's story.

I'm looking for scene/song stuff. From EVOC's liner notes, it seems that the aria would be the "Light My Candle" scene.

Any ideas?

"Che Gelida Manina" doesn't have a direct descendant in Rent. The only real connection is when Roger says, "Cold hands" in "Light My Candle."

Oh, by the way, get the East Village Opera Company's CD. It's awesome.
