The full cast will be announced on March 19, 2018.Īlice Sauro, Executive Director of the SP&O said: “We are thrilled to present Tosca, one of Puccini’s grandest symphonic operatic masterworks.

Mark Streshinsky, the General Director of the incredibly creative West Edge Opera in Berkeley, will direct a cast of singers drawn from around the country. The orchestra, on stage during the production, will be situated on a specially designed set to enhance the visual beauty of the performance and place Puccini’s orchestra at the heart of the action. The production, which will bring the record-setting 2017/18 season to a stunning close, will feature cast and chorus in full costume and make up with dramatic lighting. The Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera (SP&O) is proud to announce that the performance of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca on will be presented in a semi-staged production.
