Tuesday, October 15, at 8 pm, Tosca by Giacomo Puccini will be presented, an opera that inaugurates the season, alternating with I pescatori di perle (The Pearl Fishers). The production is staged by Mario Pontiggia and Francesco Zito, originating from Teatro Massimo in Palermo. Anna Pirozzi and Marcelo Álvarez will play the roles of Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi. The Chorus is under the guidance of Chorus Master Andrea Secchi, and the Teatro Regio Children's Chorus and the "G. Verdi” Conservatory Chorus are under the guidance of Claudio Fenoglio. Due to an indisposition, the conductor Daniel Oren has been forced to give up the first four Tosca's performances, from 15 to 19 October. Teatro Regio Torino thanks Maestro Lorenzo Passerini who has agreed to replace him on short notice.
