    Three Decembers Fort Worth Community Arts Center Three Decembers Presented by Fort Worth Opera at Fort Worth Community Arts Center May 13-June 2, 2012 What secrets do we keep to spare the ones we love? In Jake Heggie's touching chamber opera, aging Broadway star Madeline and her adult children, Charlie and Bea, brave the depths of memory, love, and resentment. Maddy's career took her away from her children after their father died in a tragic accident. Now grown and facing heartaches of their own, they shun her and idolize the father they barely knew.

    Tosca Bass Performance Hall Tosca Presented by Fort Worth Opera at Bass Performance Hall May 12-June 2, 2012 Get lured into a spellbinding tale of love against all odds - and jump into a white-knuckle thrill ride of corruption, deceit, and passion. Back by popular demand, soprano Carter Scott gives a mesmerizing performance (not to mention a heart-wrenching aria) as Puccini's tragic heroine - the unwilling object of Baron Scarpia's lecherous desires. With her lover Cavaradossi's life hanging in the balance, Tosca strikes a terrible deal to save him, but will Scarpia keep his end of the bargain?

Never mind that the lovely bride-to-be, Susanna, is engaged to his faithful servant, Figaro-of Barber of Seville fame-who, incidentally, helped Almaviva win the Countess' hand! Pride comes before a fall - and Figaro, Susanna, and the Countess are ready and willing to give the Count a nudge. You'll be captivated by...

The men of Sparta and Athens have been at war for ages, and the women have had enough. Lysia, sung by DFW favorite Ava Pine, can't convince her lover Nico to leave the Athenian army. In fact, he interrupts their romantic evening to heed the battle call. So she rallies the women of both cities in a "make love, not war" campaign that means no "love" until the men put down their arms. Of course, the...
