Yeah they're all women characters from operas.
Desdemona is from Verdi's "Otello"
Tosca is from Puccini's "La Tosca"
Violetta is from Verdi's "La Traviata"
Cio-cio is from Puccini's "Madam Butterfly"
Mimi is from Puccini's "La Boheme" (upon which Rent was based, by the way... same Mimi)
Gilda is from Verdi's "Rigoletto"
Katya Kabanova is from Janacek's opera of the same name
Pamina is from Mozart's "The Magic Flute"
My brain is basically exploding from reference overload. Exploding in a good way.
