Tosca
Puccini’s well-known masterpiece is a thrilling and emotionally charged suspense opera. The opera tells the tragic story of Tosca, an opera singer who struggles to save her lover from the cruel hands of the police chief, Scarpia. The combination of Puccini’s glorious music and the story of the struggle between love and art and the ruthless forces of power, greed, and control has made this one of the most beloved operas in the repertoire.
Nabucco
A powerful testament to love, national pride, and unceasing longing for the homeland, Nabucco returns in a grand production of the famous biblical drama about Nebuchadnezzar, the destruction of the First Temple, and the Babylonian exile. The “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves,” sung by the Babylonian exiles — held in captivity, facing execution, and hoping for a miracle — resonates more deeply than ever. In these challenging times, Verdi’s “Jewish Opera” offers both comfort and hope for a better future.
Co-produced with the Minas Gerais Opera House, Brazil
Brahms
The work is dramatic, thoughtful, and powerful.
