A gripping opera thriller about love, power, and betrayal, in which Tosca risks everything to save her beloved.
Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi live for each other and for their art. However, when Cavaradossi helps an escaped prisoner, the lovers make a deadly enemy: Police Chief Baron Scarpia. Prey to Scarpia’s perverse desires, Tosca is forced to make a terrible deal: to sleep with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Will she find a way out?
Oliver Mears’s acclaimed production returns with Puccini’s operatic thriller set in a contemporary, war-torn Rome. Daniel Oren conducts Aleksandra Kurzak, who reprises the title role, flanked by Saimir Pirgu as Cavaradossi and Christopher Maltman as Baron Scarpia.
