Description

Enjoy an evening at the opera for you and a guest with seats in orchestra prime section of the auditorium of the Metroploitan Opera House for the performance of Tosca on Friday, March 29, 2019 at 8 pm, with a complimentary beverage at intermission.


No opera is more tied to its setting than Tosca, which takes place in Rome on the morning of June 17, 1800, through dawn the following day. The specified settings for each of the three acts—the Church of Sant’Andrea della Valle, Palazzo Farnese, and Castel Sant’Angelo—are familiar monuments in the city and can still be visited today. While the libretto takes some liberties with the facts, historical issues form a basis for the opera: the people of Rome are awaiting news of the Battle of Marengo in northern Italy, which will decide the fate of their symbolically powerful city.


Met favorite Sondra Radvanovsky and rising star Jennifer Rowley share the title role of the volatile diva at the heart of Puccini’s operatic thriller. Joseph Calleja brings his stylish tenor to the role of Cavaradossi, Wolfgang Koch is the nefarious police chief Scarpia, and Carlo Rizzi conducts Sir David McVicar’s resplendent production.


Two (2) orchestra seats for Tosca, plus 2 drink tickets
Friday, March 29, 2019 at 8 pm  (run time: 2 hrs, 53 mins)
