She lives for art. She dies for love. In Puccini's sure-fire favorite, Tosca, a fiery prima donna struggles to free her true love from the clutches of a wicked police chief. Passionate arias and truly terrific musical moments pepper a rousing score, bringing the opera's emotional extremes into sharp relief as the story rushes toward its thrilling conclusion. The crackling melodrama grabs hold from the get-go, making Tosca ideal for both newcomers and aficionados alike. Soprano Ausrine Stundyte returns to Seattle Opera for the title role of the jealous lover with tenor Stefano Secco as Mario Cavaradossi and bass-baritone Greer Grimsley returning as the power-mad chief of police. The production is performed in Italian with English subtitles.
Presented by Seattle Opera
