With Puccini’s richly romantic score, Tosca is one of the world’s most loved operas. The year is 1800 and Rome finds itself caught in the middle of a war between Napoleon and the Austrian empire – leading some to flee from the police. Spying, double-crossing, and torture have become the order of the day. Beloved opera singer, Floria Tosca would do anything to protect her lover, the painter Cavaradossi – a fact that the lustful police chief Scarpia is all too ready to exploit. When Cavaradossi is accused of harboring political prisoners, Scarpia implores Tosca to make an unthinkable decision. Little does he k now how fiercely she will fight to protect herself and those she loves. This heart-pounding new production is brought to life by stage director Jeffrey Buchman (Toledo Opera’s Carmen, 2018 and La Bohéme 2020).
Starring Lindsey Anderson (The Ballad of Baby Doe) as Tosca, Brendan Boyle (Ragtime) as Cavaradossi, and Corey Crider (Cavalleria Rusticana) as Scarpia.
Sung in Italian with English Supertitles
