Tosca

 

Puccini's Tosca brought to Bellevue's Meydenbauer Theater

Eastside's own opera company presents classic tragic love story

One of the most dramatic, thrilling operas ever written, Tosca is set amidst stunning churches and pictorial palazzos in Rome during the Napoleonic era. Its heroine, Floria Tosca, a famous opera star and legendary beauty, finds her happy life shattered and is forced to resort to violent measures to rescue her lover who has been trapped in the web of the licentious Scarpia, the Chief of Police, who also desires her. Puccini's sensuous melodies and astounding conclusion atop the Castello Sant'Angelo will leave you breathless.

Tosca will be performed in Italian with English surtitles.
