An idealistic artist, a celebrated singer and a corrupt police chief engage in a fierce battle of wills in this tempestuous tale of cruelty and deception. With its themes of political intrigue, sexual intimidation and official hypocrisy, Puccini's great melodrama set in 1800 is anything but dated. Canadian soprano Adrianne Pieczonka makes her company debut in the title role. Baritone, Lado Ataneli (Scarpia) and Italian tenor Carlo Ventre make up the other sides of this fatal love triangle. (In Italian; English subtitles; Two intermissions.)

Please join family, friends, alumni, players, and community members in a special dedication ceremony to rename the West High Stadium, the “Fred Petersen Stadium.”
The Torrance community will gather to pay homage and honor the memory of beloved Coach, Fred Petersen, who passed in August. Known endearingly as "Coach Pete," Mr. Petersen coached high school and community college football for 57 years.
Coach Pete transcended sports, coaching and athletics by impacting the lives of so many. He served as an exemplary role model of integrity that touched so many on the field and off.
Coach Pete believed in building up his players and made sure they understood the basics of the game. He coached and influenced thousands of West High football and track athletes, winning multiple league titles including the 1982 football CIF Championship. As the head football coach, Petersen had a combined 140-53-3, a .714 winning percentage. A triple Hall-of-Famer (West High, El Camino College, California Wrestling), Petersen was integral to the development and success of many athletic programs including founding the girls track and field program.
