Opera Icon

Portland Opera celebrates one of the greatest and most iconic names in opera history, with an all-Puccini program featuring selections from many of his best known works including Madama Butterfly, Tosca, La Boheme, Turandot and others! 100 years on from the composer's death his work and legacy endures stronger than ever before, with so many of his operas remaining the most recognisable touchstones of the medium.

From the love, lust, murder and political intrigue of Tosca to the fantasy landscape of lush imperial palaces, enchanted forests and unexpected romance of Turandot, Puccini's operas were not only the most influential of the 20th century, but to this day are some of the best loved and most often performed operas of all time. With a stellar cast of guest performers, don't miss this wonderful celebration of one of history's icons!
