Our theme for Season 17 is a timely one as the great powers struggle on the world stage.

Our three mainstage operas feature the struggles of three very different women. What price will they pay for the freedom of their loved ones as they scheme, deceive, and kill to achieve it?

In Tosca, politics and intrigue swirl around a famous diva as she tries to free her lover from a tyrannical police chief. A wife disguises herself as a man to liberate her husband from prison in Fidelio. The heroine of L’Italiana in Algeri is a clever enchantress who must trick her way to free herself, her fiancé, and her people.

What would you sacrifice?
