Des Moines Metro Opera - Tosca
Returning to our stage for the first time in 17 years, Tosca features Puccini’s most memorable melodies and romantic orchestrations. The opera diva Floria Tosca steadfastly lives for art and love. However, when the corrupt Scarpia discovers Tosca’s lover, Cavaradossi, aided the escape of a political prisoner, her world comes down to one final, fatal question: how far will she go to protect the man she loves?

Des Moines Metro Opera - Of Mice & Men
John Steinbeck’s timeless story Of Mice and Men—in the hands of the Father of American Opera, Carlisle Floyd—becomes a deeply moving opera of great beauty and power.
George and Lennie are two migrant ranch workers who dream of owning a small piece of land and a shack they can call their own. But George cannot always shield Lennie—a childlike giant with a love for soft things—from the dangers around them. As tensions rise on the ranch, the cruelty of the boss, the loneliness of the workers, and the restless unhappiness of the boss’s young wife set in motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever.
Presented as part of the Carlisle Floyd Centennial, this masterful adaptation brings Steinbeck’s unforgettable characters vividly to life through Floyd’s richly expressive score.
Leadership production support is generously provided by Nix and Virginia Lauridsen/Lauridsen Family Foundation.

Des Moines Metro Opera - Of Mice & Men
John Steinbeck’s timeless story Of Mice and Men—in the hands of the Father of American Opera, Carlisle Floyd—becomes a deeply moving opera of great beauty and power.
George and Lennie are two migrant ranch workers who dream of owning a small piece of land and a shack they can call their own. But George cannot always shield Lennie—a childlike giant with a love for soft things—from the dangers around them. As tensions rise on the ranch, the cruelty of the boss, the loneliness of the workers, and the restless unhappiness of the boss’s young wife set in motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever.
Presented as part of the Carlisle Floyd Centennial, this masterful adaptation brings Steinbeck’s unforgettable characters vividly to life through Floyd’s richly expressive score.
Leadership production support is generously provided by Nix and Virginia Lauridsen/Lauridsen Family Foundation.
