https://operawire.com/princeton-festival-2025-review-tosca/

This review of “Tosca” covers the June 17, 2025 production. On a warm June evening, the Princeton Festival staged “Tosca.” The setting didn’t match the material. A breezy night under a white tent, sipping wine, is incongruent with heinous assault, torture, and suicide. But maybe that’s the point. “Tosca” doesn’t need help being dramatic.

CD Review: HDTT’s ‘Il Trovatore’

https://operawire.com/cd-review-hdtts-il-trovatore/
