Masabane Rangwanasha to Open Detroit Opera’s 2026-27 Season with ‘Tosca’

By Francisco Salazar

The Detroit Opera has announced that it will open its 2026-27 season with Puccini’s “Tosca.”

The company said, “We are thrilled to announce Giacomo Puccini’s ‘Tosca’ this November at the Detroit Opera House, opening Detroit Opera’s 26-27 season-long exploration of faith! A work of passion, politics, and impossible choices, Tosca remains one of opera’s most gripping thrillers.”

The opera will star Masabane Rangwanasha in the title role, Nathan Granner as Cavaradossi, and Alfred Walker as Scarpia, with Roberto Kalb conducting the Detroit Opera Orchestra, Chorus, and Youth Chorus.

This production will be staged by Louisa Proske, whose 2025 Glimmerglass Festival production brings Puccini’s drama into Fascist Italy of the 1930s.

More information to be announced at a later date.
