Puccini's Tosca at West Bay Opera

Presented by West Bay Opera Association Inc

Tosca, the knife still in her hand, looms over the dying Scarpia

Floria Tosca, a young opera singer, agrees to sleep with Scarpia, Rome's corrupt Chief of Police, in order to save her lover's life. Instead, she stabs Scarpia in the chest killing him. But Scarpia's promises also turn out to be hollow. Her lover is executed at the Castel Sant'Angelo prison. Pursued by guards, she jumps to her death from the Castle's tower. One of Puccini's three most famous works, Tosca packs a dramatic force and a level of suspense unsurpassed in the verismo repertoire.  West Bay Opera presents it fully staged, with orchestra, chorus, period sets and costumes and a top notch cast. Do not miss it!
