Pittsburgh Opera presents ‘Tosca’
October 5 @ 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm
She lived for art. Would she die for love?
When painter Cavaradossi—the lover of Rome’s enchanting diva Floria Tosca—decides to harbor a fugitive of the law, he makes himself and his beloved Tosca a target of the corrupt Chief of Police, Baron Scarpia. Now it is up to Tosca to free both her lover and herself from Scarpia’s clutches by making a horrific bargain that will have consequences for them all.
Puccini’s whirlwind political thriller packs high romance, dark motives, love, betrayal, murder, and intrigue all into a plot that unfolds over only 24 hours. See why ‘Tosca’ is one of the most powerful operas ever written.
Sung in Italian, with English supertitles projected above the stage so you’ll understand every word. Tickets start at just $15.
