Paul Williams has touched many lives with songs like Rainbow Connection, We've Only Just Begun, You and Me Against the World, and Evergreen. In a rare Southern California appearance, this award-winning Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee will perform many of his beloved songs. His music has been recorded by artists such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Ella Fitzgerald, David Bowie, Ray Charles, R.E.M., and Luther Vandross, but is especially wonderful when performed by the man who wrote the words.

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.)
