Tyranny and treachery intwine in Giacomo Puccini's menacing tragedy, staged by Detroit Opera. Roberto Kalp conducts and Louisa Proske directs this signature piece of the repertoire, which infuses a twisting story of politics intermingling with love, sacrifice, and revenge, with soaring music that fills the auditorium and overpowers the senses, before building to a searing finale! Please note, this production features scenes of a sexual and violent nature and is not recommended for ages under-16.

Considered to be one of Puccini's greatest and most accessible works, Tosca is the ultimate operatic exploration of romance and tragedy. A melodramatic rollercoaster of emotions, the opera careens from love to lust, betrayal and murder as fiery titular heroine Floria Tosca attempts to wrench her destiny, and that of her lover, into her own hands.
