Spend a day at the opera in Cooperstown with the spectacular production of Tosca at the Glimmerglass Festival! Enjoy orchestra seating in the Alice Busch Opera Theater for this dearly loved opera by Giacomo Puccini. This production of Puccini’s lush score, written on the heels of La Bohème, contrasts moments of exquisite tenderness with heart-stopping sonic spectacle. Tosca, a tempestuous diva, lives for art—and for love. When Cavaradossi, her lover and a revolutionary painter, is targeted by Rome’s corrupt chief of police, Tosca is determined to save him—but at what price? En route Walter Carrol will provide an enlightening lecture on the music and artistry of this production. Since its opening in 1987, the Alice Busch Opera Theater has been home to more than 100 productions, many of which have been world premieres. A pre-concert lunch is provided
