New York Opera Conservancy Free Summer Program: Tosca
The Taconic Opera summer program for emerging opera singers, New York Opera Conservatory (NYOC), offers you an opportunity to hear the upcoming generation of professional singers as they gain valuable experience perfecting their craft. Established in 2018, the NYOC helps to fill an unmet need among trained singers to gain valuable hands-on experience through actual performance.
Among the most popular operas every written and with a truly memorable and despicable villain (Scarpia!), it is the tragic story of a singer in love with a painter who is harboring political prisoners in Rome during Italy’s war against Napoleon. She is torn between protecting her lover and keeping the Republic safe. Features the famous aria Vissi d’arte. Sung in Italian.
Each performance includes the complete opera and is semi-staged (costumes, props).
An event every week that begins at 9:45 am on Sunday, Friday and Saturday, repeating until December 1, 2024
