This new production of Tosca from Maggio Musicale Fiorentino is set in the late 1920s. Puccini’s “Roman opera” sees a city bathed in majesty but also stained by eroticism and sadism, where sartorial elegance and pathological violence co-exist.
Taking visual clues from Bernardo Bertolucci’s cinematic masterpiece, Il conformista, the cast is led by the passionate Vanessa Goikoetxea and features the magnetic Alexey Markov in the role of Scarpia. Daniele Gatti directs a performance praised for its “courageous and surprising” impact.
History
Tosca premiered in 1900 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. It is one of the world’s most frequently performed operas and is known as much for its gripping drama as for its appealing score. The setting is Rome, where Tosca, a beautiful and famous singer, battles to save her lover Mario from the sadistic police chief Scarpia. The role of Tosca has been long considered a proving ground for great operatic actresses.
