Performer: Joel Sorensen

Fourth time around Paul Curran’s production of Tosca at the Canadian Opera Company is workmanlike and well sung, but lacks the necessary dramatic edge to be truly memorable.

Despite a strong vocal and orchestral performance, David Hockney's sets are still the main draw for San Francisco Opera's Turandot. 

San Francisco Opera's Turandot is a feast for the eyes and ears, but the drama falls flat.
