Tosca
Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa
Floria Tosca suspects her lover of being unfaithful, when really, he’s helping an escaped political prisoner and friend. This misunderstanding mutates into a series of escalating and irreversible misfortunes once Baron Scarpia, the chief of the secret police, enters the scene. Set in Rome during a time of national upheaval, as Napoleon’s army marches on Italy, Puccini’s epic opera stands as one of the most enduring and beloved of all time. Whatever darkness or desires the Baron may bring, there is nothing Tosca will not do for art and love.
