TOSCA
by Puccini
Tosca’s desperate and
ruthless passion in a
time of political turmoil
has held audiences in
its spell since it was
first performed.
With unforgettably
beautiful music and a
story that keeps you on
the edge of your seat.
Join us for a heartracing night of love,
passion and betrayal.
NHO is delighted to announce that Royal
Opera House Director of Opera Oliver
Mears will return to NHO to direct this
production, originally created for his
debut at Northern Ireland Opera in 2011.
British soprano Giselle Allen will perform
the title role of Tosca. ‘It’s hard to praise
Giselle Allen enough – an unstinting
portrayal, physically and emotionally’
