Opera West Society and the UBC Opera Ensemble were thrilled to present a semi-staged concert version of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca on November 26, 2022, to a sold-out audience at the UBC Old Aud Concert Hall. Rhoslyn Jones stepped in for Sondra Radvanovsky to perform the role of Tosca as Ms. Radvanovsky, unfortunately, was ill and unable to sing.

Rhoslyn Jones, originally from Vancouver, flew up from San Francisco Thursday afternoon just in time for the Dress Rehearsal and saved the day. Rhoslyn Jones is described as “a superb singer and artistic presence and has established herself on the operatic and concert stages of the world” Hailed as “The delicious Diva, Ms. Jones captivated the audience with her unforgettably powerful voice in her role debut as the Countess in Vancouver Opera ‘s production of Le nozze di Figaro”.

Korean tenor, Yonghoon Lee, who has established himself as one of the leading dramatic tenors of his generation, sang Cavaradossi, while Gregory Dahl, one of Canada’s most in-demand performers, took on the role of the villainous Baron Scarpia. Canadian conductor, Jacques Lacombe, recently heralded in The New York Times as “gifted and ambitious”, led this distinguished cast, members of the Vancouver Festival Orchestra and UBC Opera Ensemble.

This performance marked the debut of the collaboration between Opera West and the UBC Ensemble.

It was a magnificent debut and audience showed their appreciation with an enthusiastic 10-minute standing ovation.
