Tosca is set in Rome in June 1800, when Rome is threatened by Napoleon's invasion of Italy. It is a tragic and political love story and explores how love overcomes all. Mario Cavaradossi, a painter, is deeply in love with Floria Tosca, a famous singer. Scarpia, the chief of police, has arrested Cavaradossi and proposes a deal to Tosca that if she gives herself to him, he will free her lover.
This story has it all - love, lust, murder, and political intrigue – and with Puccini’s richly romantic score, it is one of the world’s most loved operas. Tosca will be performed in the original Italian with English super titles projected above the stage.
