Plácido Domingo says...

Dear Friends,

“Tosca” is one of Puccini’s greatest operas, full of glorious music which will be familiar even to those who think they know no opera at all! This fully-staged production will bring wonderful sets and beautiful costumes before your eyes, in an opera story which has everything – love, jealousy, treachery and death and a twist in the final scene which will leave you gasping. The role of the hero, Cavaradossi, and his famous aria, “E lucevan le stelle” in which he bids farewell to life, love and the beautiful stars of the night, is one of my own personal favourites, both to watch and to perform.

Please – do not miss this wonderful opera!

Thank you for your support for Southern Opera and I wish you much happy opera-going in 2010!
