She is very transparent and lets everything out; people really respond to her. As a stage character, you don’t have to wonder what she’s thinking; you hear everything she is thinking. She is very tense, serious, and focused. I am excited to see how that plays out with the drama.”","type":"text"},{"type":"image"},{"content":"Tosca’s epic tale of love, betrayal, and revenge is sung in Italian with English supertitles projected above the stage for audience members to follow along. Yet, the vivid storytelling that is expressed through opera is captivating even without speaking the language. No other art form conveys a narrative with the intensity that opera does. And the intensity of Tosca, specifically, is staggering. “This is a new and exhausting role for me,” said Van Kooten. “Emotionally, vocally, and stage-wise, I am looking forward to giving {the director} the most time and attention I possibly can.”","type":"text"},{"content":"Tosca is conducted by Steven White, a beloved figure in the world of opera.
