DESCRIPTION:Aug 7\, 2026\nUnless you’re family\, you’ll never have hear
 d of the principals in this summertime Tosca\, and that is precisely the p
 oint. Wolf Trap Opera is a springboard for stars of tomorrow. Take Ryan Mc
 Kinny\, heard at the Filene Center years ago as the Tutor in Rossini’s s
 inging-nunsense Le Comte Ory and the eponymous bridegroom of Mozart’s Le
  Nozze di Figaro. Since then\, he has proved his prowess as a major-league
  singing actor many times over—notably as Wagner’s Amfortas\, the torm
 ented king who can’t die\, at Wagner’s own Bayreuth Festival\, and as 
 Jake Heggie’s walking dead man Joseph DeRocher at the Met\, Chicago Lyri
 c\, and San Francisco Opera. Next season\, in the Met’s premiere of Miss
 y Mazzoli’s phantasmagoric Lincoln in the Bardo\, McKinny tackles Michae
 l Vollmann\, a principal narrator in the original George Saunders novel\, 
 undead\, naked\, in a perpetual state of grotesque arousal. Between onstag
 e gigs\, though\, McKinny has also developed a thriving side-hustle as an 
 innovative\, operatically oriented filmmaker and director. And this summer
 \, you’ll find him—alongside his wife and filmmaking partner Tonya McK
 inny—back in Vienna\, Virginia\, putting Tessa McQueen\, Demetrious Samp
 son Jr.\, and Jonathan Patton through their paces as the diva with Rome at
  her feet\, the artist-revolutionary who is the sugar in her cappuccino\, 
 and the chief of the secret police out to destroy them. Theirs is a high-t
 ension fandango. Between cutlery\, gunshots\, and a climactic leap from a 
 Roman monument\, none of the characters survives. But as audiences wend th
 eir way home\, odds are they’ll be memorizing names for bragging rights 
 a few seasons hence.
