Joyce El-Khoury Leads Vancouver Opera’s ‘Tosca’

By Francisco Salazar

The Vancouver Opera 2026–2027 season opens Oct. 24, 2026 with Puccini’s “Tosca.”

Under the baton of Vancouver Opera Music Director Jacques Lacombe and the stage direction of Brenna Corner, Artistic Director of Pacific Opera Victoria, this acclaimed co-production will star Lebanese-Canadian soprano Joyce El-Khoury as Floria Tosca, Canadian tenor David Pomeroy as Mario Cavaradossi and Canadian baritone Gregory Dahl as Scarpia.

Tom Wright, Vancouver Opera General Director said, “Tosca is the fifth-most-performed opera in the world, and we are thrilled to have this Puccini blockbuster return to our stage for the first time in 13 years. Working with Pacific Opera Victoria allows us to open our 67th season with a newly imagined production of a masterpiece by one of opera’s greatest composers. From its explosive opening chords to some of the most recognizable and emotionally powerful music in the operatic repertoire, Tosca moves with the intensity of a political thriller.”

The opera will be performed through Nov. 1, 2026.
