ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (October 3, 2022) – St. Petersburg Opera Company kicks off its 17th Season with Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca on October 14th, 16th, and 18th at the Palladium Theater, 253 5th Ave N, Saint Petersburg, FL 33701.
Love, lust, betrayal, and murder – the charismatic diva Tosca is at the center of it all! Puccini’s tragic masterpiece is a powder keg of politics and religion, making it one of the world’s most popular operas. As storms of repression and rebellion rage through Italy, Tosca is forced to play a real-life role she never imagined, fighting to save her lover, Cavaradossi, from the corrupt Baron Scarpia, who vows to kill his romantic rival if he cannot have Tosca for himself.
The superb cast features Alexandra Batsios (soprano), as Floria Tosca; Benjamin Werley (tenor), as Mario Cavaradossi; SeungHyeon Baek(baritone), as Baron Scarpia; Michael Colman (lyric bass), as Cesare Angelotti; Devin Eatmon (tenor), as Spoletta; Andrew Allan Hiers (bass-baritone), as Sacristan; and John Robert Green (bass-baritone), as Sciarrone.
The award-winning creative team includes Mark Sforzini (Executive & Artistic Director, Conductor), Adam Cioffari (Stage Director), Glenn A. Breed(Costume Designer), Mike Roland (Scenic Designer), Keith Arsenault (Lighting Designer), and Brian L. Collar (Children’s Choirmaster).
Performances are Friday, October 14th at 8 pm; Sunday, October 16th at 2 pm; and Tuesday, October 18th at 7:30 pm. This production is Co-Sponsored by Michele Kidwell Gilbert & Dr. Gordon J. Gilbert, and supported in part by the Florida Department of State Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the City of St. Petersburg.
