Passion. Power. Betrayal.

Puccini’s Tosca is opera at its most thrilling.

When Tosca premiered in 1900, audiences were shocked by its intensity — political corruption, obsession, violence, and impossible choices unfolding over the course of a single day. More than a century later, it still feels breathtakingly modern.
Featuring some of the most iconic music ever written, including the legendary aria “Vissi d’arte,” Tosca has inspired generations of extraordinary divas — from Maria Callas to Leontyne Price and beyond.

🎭 Love collides with power.
🎶 Puccini at his most cinematic.
🔥 An unforgettable night at the opera.

Join us for this pulse-pounding masterpiece and experience why Tosca remains one of the most beloved operas of all time.
