Giacomo Puccini’s melodrama returns to the McCaw Hall stage in a classic production that “has just about everything: great tunes, desperate lovers, loads of action, and a bad guy you’re going to love to hate” (The Seattle Times). Two lovers are thwarted by the power-hungry Scarpia while the fiery prima donna Tosca is pushed past sanity when her only hope for freedom means submitting to the evil Baron’s lecherous desires.

“Vocally perfect” (Broadway World) soprano Vanessa Goikoetxea (Alcina ’23, Don Giovanni ’21, Carmen ’19) and the “gleaming soprano” (Opera Warhorses) of Lianna Haroutounian (Madame Butterfly ’17) return to McCaw Hall as Floria Tosca. As Cavaradossi, the “warm, rich tenor” (Bachtrack) of Rame Lahaj alternates with “ardent tenor and an impassioned actor” (The Seattle Times) Yonghoon Lee, who returns to Seattle after his debut as Samson (Samson and Delilah in Concert ’23).
