The Metropolitan Opera: Tosca

Program, Musical

NCM Fathom brings the ultimate stage spectacle - The Met: Live in HD - to movie theatre screens nationwide. The broadcast of Puccini's opera Tosca will be presented live for only one day on Saturday, October 10, 2009, 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT in select movie theatres."Tosca combines Puccini's glorious musical inspiration with the melodramatic vitality of one of the great Hitchcock films," says Met Music Director James Levine, who conducts this new production. The opera tells the story of three people-a famous opera singer, a free-thinking painter, and a sadistic chief of police-caught in a net of love and politics. Rated No Rating .
