This season (2007/2008) with Seattle Opera I felt was a huge winner. Tosca was another extremely well done opera with a superb story line and plot.
Pros: Vocally this opera is phenomenal. The singing is beyond breathtaking and it is somewhat action packed. The final scene where Tosca takes her own life was done with such skill and mastery that I gasped. Tosca stands on the wall of the building sings for her love and at the last note tilts backward to fall to her death. It was captivating and magnificently executed.
Cons: None that I can recall!
Must See Rating: *****

I agree! I think that was actually the season I took my friend to see it as her christmas present, we've wanted to go to the opera forever so I bought us tickets to this performance and it was AMAZING!
