TOSCA an opera in concert Dec 11, 2022

The Eternal City’s famous drama of the passionate operatic diva, her heroic artist lover and their sadistic nemesis during a few tempestuous hours in June of the turbulent year 1800.

From its authenticity of location and historical circumstance springs forth one of the most emotionally stirring dramatic works – the perfect first experience for the operatic neophyte and one which the connoisseur returns to forever.

Tosca is irresistible because of Puccini’s compositional precision and sublime melodies, amplifying with rare fluency his insightful explorations of a heroine’s psyche, her freedom-fighting lover’s genuine affection, the consummation of a villain’s treachery, the simultaneous extremes of the sacred and profane.

This Opera in Concert will thrill you with an intimate and unique performance that brings you closer to this passionate music than you have ever been before.

Our new production with piano accompaniment will be sung in the original Italian with projections featuring the actual Roman locations in the opera. A digital program and libretto with English translation will be provided in advance and a narrator will illuminate the key actions in the opera. The running time will be approximately 2:30 with one 20 minute Intermission.
