Becoming Tosca
A bold new operatic drama
Fusing new music, dialogue and tango flavour - we lead audiences into and through the story of Puccini's classic. Does power corrupt, or reveal the soul beneath? Can art catalyse change, or does it merely witness it?
Revolution, Romance, Reinvention: everyone has a backstory, this is hers.
