Tosca is a melodrama of love, betrayal, and death, set in the revolutionary unrest of 1800. The story concerns the opera singer Floria Tosca, who tries to save her lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi, from the brutal chief of police, Scarpia. Through-composed and expertly orchestrated, it contains some of Puccini’s best-known lyrical arias and remains one of his most performed operas.
In this 2022 production, an eminent cast is directed by the acclaimed Australian director Barrie Kosky.
“The Amsterdam audience was completely swept off its feet by Kosky’s stunning production.” (Opera News)
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.
