Passion, politics, and power collide in the story of Tosca—a renowned diva, in Rome in 1800, as grand opera returns to Portland with this Puccini masterpiece.  An artist activist has won Tosca's heart, and his revolutionary sympathies provoke the wrath of Scarpia, the corrupt chief of police. Her devotion and moral resistance are challenged by abuses of power, attempted rape, and tragedy—as this high drama builds to its haunting finale. October 29 - November 6 at Keller Auditorium.
