INSIGHT SERIES | Exploring Puccini's Veristic Tosca

Join Maestro Craig Kier as he explores the long journey Tosca took from Victorien Sardou’s La Tosca to Giacomo Puccini’s beloved opera. On the heels of the success of La Bohème, the expectation for another triumph by Puccini was expected by his fans and doubted by his skeptics. We’ll explore the drama on and off the stage which led to the premiere and examine the music of this great masterpiece of the canon.
