Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs and David Pittsinger in Tosca: Rapture in ruffles.

Tosca, Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs, Giacomo Puccini, Ziff Ballet Opera House, downtown Miami, Miami local theater, Florida Grand OperaWhat's something people should bear in mind when going to see Tosca?
I just think they should enjoy it. It's one of the most perfectly written pieces of musical theater. It's not a stand-and-sing kind of piece — there are arias, but they're more in the style of a dramatic monologue. It's not about staid musical numbers. It's very active, and things flow perfectly from one thing to the next. Really, I think it's the beginning of opera as musical theater. And it's beautiful from the very first minute to the last.
