SUMMARY:Tosca
DESCRIPTION:Tosca\, set in 1800s Rome\, is a whirlwind of love\, jealousy\, and political intrigue starrings a fiery diva; her political activist lover\, and the ruthless police chief who sees “no” as just a starting point. His obsession with Tosca is all of their downfall. \nKnown for its intense drama and high-stakes twists\, Tosca serves up enough passion\, betrayal\, and mayhem to keep even the toughest opera cynic hooked—because in Tosca\, love conquers all\, but not before a little murder. \nPre-Opera Talk\nMay 15\, 2026 at 6:30pm\nMay 17\, 2026 at 1:30pm \n Artists & Cast COMPOSED BY Giacomo PucciniSTAGE DIRECTED BY David Radamés Toro *CONDUCTED BY Francesco MiliotoWITH THE Milwaukee Symphony OrchestraFEATURING The Florentine Opera Chorus\,Dr. Benjamin Rivera\, Chorus MasterSCHOOLS ON STAGE St. Anthony Schools Performers Floria Tosca Ann Toomey *Mario Cavaradossi Chaz’men Williams-AliBaron Scarpia Alfred Walker *Cesare Angelotti Hidenori Inoue *A Sacristan Phil Cokorinos *Spoletta Zach Taylor +Sciarrone David Drettwan +A Shepherd Boy Jamila Drecker-Waxman + *Indicates Florentine Opera Debut | + Baumgartner Studio Artist | ^ Baumgartner Studio Artist Alum

SUMMARY:Tales of Hoffmann
DESCRIPTION:The Tales of Hoffmann (Les Contes d’Hoffmann) is a haunting opera that dives into the stormy\, occasionally uncanny\, love life of poet Hoffmann. In a series of flashbacks (and perhaps a bit too much wine)\, Hoffmann recounts three romantic escapades\, each with its own fantastical twist—and each disastrously interrupted by a shadowy villain determined to ruin his good time. The opera is a blend of romance\, heartbreak\, and just the right dose of the surreal\, proving that in Hoffmann’s world\, if something seems too good to be true\, it probably involves an evil doppelgänger or a mechanical doll. \nPerformed in French with English supertitles. \nPre-Opera Talk\nMarch 13\, 2026 at 6:30pm\nMarch 15\, 2026 at 1:30pm \n Artists & Cast COMPOSED BY Jacques OffenbachSTAGE DIRECTED BY David Lefkowich *CONDUCTED BY Francesco MiliotoWITH THE Milwaukee Symphony OrchestraFEATURING The Florentine Opera Chorus\,Dr. Benjamin Rivera\, Chorus Master Performers Hoffmann Kang Wang *Heroines: (Antonia\, Olympia\, Giulietta\, Stella) Susanne Burgess *Villains: (Lindorf\, Coppélius\, Dr. Miracle\, Dappertutto) Christian Pursell *(Niklaus/Muse) Emily Fons(Valet Tenors: Frantz\, Andres\, Cochenille\, Pittichinaccio) Julius Ahn *(Voice of Antonia’s Mother) Lauryn Nelson + (Spalanzani\, Nathanael) Zach Taylor +(Crespel\, Hermann) David Drettwan +(Schlémil\, Luther) Dylan Gregg *Indicates Florentine Opera Debut | + Baumgartner Studio Artist | ^ Baumgartner Studio Artist Alum

SUMMARY:Don Giovanni
DESCRIPTION:Sidekick Leporello follows the notorious and unapologetic nobleman Don Giovanni (yes\, that Don Juan) as he waltzes through life with a scandalous checklist: seduction\, deception\, and\, naturally\, leaving a trail of broken hearts and vengeful fiancés. Despite plenty of red flags (and\, let’s be honest\, a few angry mobs)\, he shrugs off every warning like yesterday’s conquest. No lesson learned\, no apologies offered—until fate shows up\, ready to dish out a final\, fiery “we need to talk.” \nPerformed in Italian with English supertitles. \nPre-Opera Talk\nOctober 24\, 2025 at 6:30pm\nOctober 26\, 2025 at 1:30pm \n Artists & Cast COMPOSED BY Wolfgang Amadeus MozartSung in Italian with English supertitlesSTAGE DIRECTED BY Rebecca Herman *CONDUCTED BY Francesco MiliotoWITH THE Milwaukee Symphony OrchestraFEATURING The Florentine Opera Chorus\,Dr. Benjamin Rivera\, Chorus Master Performers Don Giovanni Richard Ollarsaba *Donna Anna Brittany Renee Donna Elvira Kayleigh Decker *Don Ottavio Andrew Morstein *Leporello Musa NgqungwanaZerlina Jamila Drecker-Waxman +Masetto David Drettwan +Commendatore Brian Kontes * *Indicates Florentine Opera Debut | + Baumgartner Studio Artist | ^ Baumgartner Studio Artist Alum
