The Coronado Theatre in its glory!

Experience one of the most thrilling operas of all time! Puccini's masterpiece tells the story of Flora Tosca, the legendary diva, who fights to save her lover in a gripping tale of political turmoil and human passion. This brilliantly tragic tale of jealousy, betrayal, and murder is truly a must-see performance!

Returning to direct Tosca is impresario Vernon Hartman, who staged the RSO’s sold-out 2006 production of Puccini’s La Bohème. Often called the “hardest working man in opera,” Vernon spent two decades as a leading baritone with the Metropolitan Opera, New York, before branching out to produce and direct independent productions.
