descend into a portrait of Rome on the brink of war. A police state reigns over the city, and at its head is the merciless Baron Scarpia.
Amid the tumult, love blossoms between two artists: the singer Floria Tosca and the painter Mario Cavaradossi. But Tosca has caught Scarpia's eye. To claim the singer for himself, Scarpia concocts a plan to send her lover to the firing squad -- and Tosca's only hope to save him is to do the unspeakable.
But the heart of this production lies with Lianna Haroutounian, who marks her first appearance on the San Francisco Opera stage with her commanding performance as Tosca in a "virtuoso display." (San Francisco Chronicle)
