No Happy Ending: 'Tosca'

20090212-tosca-450.jpg
THIS WEEK: One of opera's most enduring tragedies — and that's saying a lot — "Tosca" remains as riveting as it was at its 1900 premiere in Rome. Puccini's tale of a headstrong singer's downward spiral, tugged along by her heart and the jealousies of men around her, comes to George Mason University's Center for the Arts in a Virginia opera production of lavish fidelity to the soul of the story.

» GMU, Center for the Arts, Braddock Road & Route 123, Fairfax; Fri., Feb. 13, 8 p.m., Sun., 2 p.m., $44-$98; 888-945-2468.
