Tosca at Nichols Concert Hall

Feel the intensity of Giacomo Puccini’s legendary Tosca opera in a powerful, close-up experience by Chicago Nova Opera.

Transported to the tightening grip of 1930s Italy, this production transforms the classic tragedy into a gripping drama where love, lust and politics intertwine. By shifting the setting to the Mussolini era, the opera’s themes of surveillance, sacrifice, and survival under a tightening regime become chillingly immediate.

Three acts of compliance. One act of defiance.

Under the baton of Catherine O'Shaughnessy and directed by Alexey Efremov, Tosca is brought into sharp focus. Performed at the historic Nichols Concert Hall, this "close-up" experience ensures that every soaring melody and every whisper of betrayal resonates with visceral intensity.

Time: 19:00 - 21:00
