Intermountain Opera Bozeman is proud to present their long anticipated 2017 spring production of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca.
May 12 and 14, 2017
Intermountain Opera Bozeman, Montana’s most widely acclaimed and well respected opera company, wraps up its 2016-2017 season with the tragically endearing opera Tosca.
A journey of ill-suited and ill-fated lovers through the dark and secretive halls and edges of cathedrals, palaces and prisons, through Puccini’s both vibrant and mournful lyrical score Director Linda Brovsky and Conductor Dean Williamson will carry the audience to the hauntingly beautiful hidden corners of Rome, where infatuation and devotion twist and twine in contention. Featuring Baritone Corey Crider as the iniquitous Baron Scarpia, Tenor John Pickle as the doomed Cavaradossi, and Soprano Kara Shay Thomson as the heart-rending, alluring Tosca, this story of an agonizing and devoted love loss will shatter the hearts of romantics and their cynics.
Bass-Baritone Thomas Hammons joins the cast as Sacristan, along with Torrance Blaisdell as Spoletta, and returning Intermountain Opera favorite bass Branch Fields as Angelotti and Sciarrone. With a chorus of local singers that includes a children’s choir, the company of Tosca will hold the audience into a breathtaking embrace they will feel no desire to struggle to be released.
Tosca will have only two performances, Friday, May 12th at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 14th at 3 p.m. Both performances will be at the Willson Auditorium, 404 West Main Street, Bozeman, Montana. Reservations are strongly recommended. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Intermountain Opera Bozeman office at (406) 587-2889 or by visiting the website at http://intermountainopera.org. Remaining tickets will also be on sale at the door.
