When San Diego Opera opens Giacomo Puccini's beloved romantic opera 'Tosca' on March 25, soprano Michelle Bradley will be performing the role of Tosca for only the second time in her professional career. But Marcelo Puente, the tenor playing her lover, Cavaradossi, will be nearing his 80th performance in the role. Yet for both singers, returning to these roles is a joy that will never get old. The two opera stars love their characters, they adore the music of Puccini, and they relish the challenge of taking their characters on the emotional journey in this story.
