Tosca

Searing passion, edge-of-your-seat action, and a career-defining title role: No opera is more dramatic than Puccini’s classic thriller. The ever-popular story of a jealous diva, the ardent painter who loves her, and the villainous chief of police who tears them asunder features several of opera’s biggest stars in a grand, immersive production by David McVicar that transports audiences to three picturesque locations in Rome. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Principal Guest Conductor Daniele Rustioni each take the podium. Production a gift of Jacqueline Desmarais, in memory of Paul G. Desmarais Sr, The Paiko Foundation, and Dr. Elena Prokupets, in memory of her late husband, Rudy Prokupets Major funding from Rolex Revival a gift of C. Graham Berwind, III and Viking
