Tosca, set in 1800s Rome, is a whirlwind of love, jealousy, and political intrigue starrings a fiery diva; her political activist lover, and the ruthless police chief who sees “no” as just a starting point. His obsession with Tosca is all of their downfall. 

Known for its intense drama and high-stakes twists, Tosca serves up enough passion, betrayal, and mayhem to keep even the toughest opera cynic hooked—because in Tosca, love conquers all, but not before a little murder.

An Aria Extravaganza

Milwaukee's East Side

She lives fast, loves freely, and throws a better party than anyone in Paris. But beneath the champagne and charm, Violetta knows her days in the spotlight won’t last forever. When she dares to trade pleasure for true love, society—and Alfredo’s very proper family—are quick to remind her just how unforgiving Paris can be.

Verdi’s La Traviata is all romance, sacrifice, and a story where “happily ever after” takes a hard pass.

Enter Gianni Schicchi, whose clever plan might save the day or blow it all up.

Prince Tamino sets out to rescue Princess Pamina from the formidable Queen of the Night (yes, her mother), armed with a magical flute and an anxious companion, Papageno. What begins as a straightforward mission quickly opens into a world of rigid traditions, obscure rules, and trials that test far more than bravery.

This is not just Tamino’s journey. Pamina faces the same ordeals, makes the same choices, and proves herself every bit his equal. Inspired by classic epic fantasy in the spirit of The Wheel of Time, Mozart’s The Magic Flute is a fantastical and occasionally heart-stopping adventure, where the world is strange, the path is uncertain, and—against all odds—love still wins.
