The German Johannes Fritsch will conduct the performance of the opera “Tosca” at the Sydney Opera House from 25th of June until mid-July, in keeping with the 100th anniversary of composer Giacomo Puccini's death. Born in Meissen in East Germany, Fritsch has become a fixture over the decades, especially in Australia's classical music scene. He lives in Hobart with his German Australian family.
