Reading Symphony Orchestra Presents Tosca

321

The Reading Symphony Orchestra presents Tosca on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. at the Santander Performing Arts Center. The program features Puccini’s most well-known arias, including Vissi d’arte and Recondita armonia, led by Music Director Andrew Constantine in collaboration with Berks Opera Company, the Reading Choral Society, and Berks Youth Chorus.

Tosca tells the dramatic story of lovers Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi in Rome in the year 1800. Caught up in a political movement and the schemes of the twisted Chief of Police Baron Scarpia, Tosca and Cavaradossi plan to escape Rome together.

“Tosca is about passion and drama, with one of the most intense acts in all of opera,” said Constantine. “What a treat for Reading and the local organizations who are helping us bring this profound piece to life.”
