Angels Vocal Art presents the beloved Puccini classic, TOSCA, in a Gala Performance with full orchestra at the Manoukian Performing Arts Center. A tragedy of passion and jealousy and a roller coaster of love, lust, murder and political intrigue, it tells the story of the tempestuous opera singer Floria Tosca (Jessica Sandidge), as she fights to save her lover Cavaradossi (Todd Wilander) from the sadistic police chief Scarpia (Roberto Perlas Gomez).
