“Tosca” at the Séance
New York City Opera has officially launched its “renaissance” at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater last night with a production of Puccini’s Tosca that should please a lot of older, conservative audiences, if not the adventurous operagoers that City Opera courted in the past.
Role Minnie
Not much gold, but plenty of rush
Is this not Puccini’s greatest opera, his most human, least manipulative?
Role Tosca
What ever happened to her?
When the subject of New York City Opera comes up, you always hear the same query: “What happened to City Opera? Are they even performing these days??”

Gained in translation (November), Teleport me back to… (December).
