The local opera scene takes some down time in June, but the Metropolitan Opera House in New York is stepping in with encore screenings of its biggest hits from last season at movie theaters across the country. Things kick off next week with a repeat of the critically-praised “Tosca.”
The cast is top-notch with American soprano Patricia Racette singing the lead and French tenor Roberto Alagna performing as her love interest, the hapless painter Cavaradossi. The show starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 22, at two dozen theaters in Colorado.
Tickets are $12.50. Info at
