Opera’s most tempestuous tale of love, deception and political intrigue comes alive as Pacific Symphony takes Puccini’s passionate and beautiful music out of the pit and onto the stage to reveal the composer’s brilliant orchestration. This semi-staged production features world-class opera stars and includes acting, staging, suggested props and costumes, as well as projected scenes on a 90-foot screen.
