Recently named a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, David McVicar’s sumptuous and thrilling production of Puccini’s Tosca returns to the stage today, December 5, with “extraordinary” soprano Sondra Radvanovsky as the title diva. She joins two other sensational singing actors, tenor Brian Jagde and baritone George Gagnidze, in a performance led by Music Director Yannick Nezet-Seguin and featuring the peerless MET Orchestra Musicians and Met Opera Chorus. On stage through December 18: bit.ly/3gg

A short synopsis of the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. It's based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, "La Tosca" and was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. I left some things out of this short version of the story so you can go see Tosca the next chance you get. Music by Steve Wallace | Babatunde Hip Hopera
