Must Bravo
Seattle Opera’s Opening Night of Tosca
Saturday (1/10, 7:30 p.m.) A power-crazed chief of police. Fake bullets replaced with real ones. A fatal plunge off a parapet! Puccini’s Tosca is the archetypical opera, with more melodrama than an episode of Scandal and a spicy score that keeps things racing toward the foregone conclusion. Don’t miss out on the snazzy after party, where guests are whisked backstage for champagne, dinner and dancing.
Must See
