The Lyric Opera Northwest's Tosca

Puccini at his most powerful. The heroine, Tosca, is a diva whose artist lover, Cavaradossi, shelters a rebel. The evil chief of police, Scarpia, who lusts after Tosca, tries to use her lover's politically incorrect connection to gain Tosca for himself, but only brings destruction to all of them. But not without some amazing singing. Grace Eun plays Tosca--if I'm not mistaken, she was the excellent Mme Butterfly I saw in Bellevue some years ago. My friend and colleague Gino Lucchetti plays Cavaradossi. I expect we'll be able to greet and meet the cast afterwards. It's a rare and wonderful opportunity to enjoy live opera in South King County. Here's a link to the Lyric Opera Northwest's website for more details. (http://www.lonw.org/) It seems that tickets are only available through the LONW website. When you go to the page, scroll down a ways past where you see the Auburn Performing Arts Center in blue. You can select regular price or senior/student. Once you do and click on purchase tickets, you can enter how many tickets you want. It's apparently festival seating and the theatre is on the intimate side, so we'll be totally immersed in the drama and emotion of this wonderful opera.
