Love. Jealousy. Betrayal.
Opera's greatest thriller is a taut tale of passion and betrayal, taking place over just 24 hours in Rome. Renowned prima donna Tosca is in love with Cavaradossi, a painter and revolutionary. When the sadistic Chief of Police Scarpia tries to crush them, our heroine finds the strength to do the unspeakable.
Puccini's music is sensational: from the overpowering choral power of the famous Te Deum, Tosca's ode to art 'Vissi d'arte' and the haunting tenor showpiece 'E lucevan le stelle' as Cavaradossi faces death.
Tosca is the perfect first taste of opera, and one opera lovers return to again and again, to experience how music can bring great stories to emotional highs. Tosca has it all: romance, action and an unforgettable ending.
Please note: this production contains depictions of violence, including violence against women, murder and suicide.

Performance of Tosca was ok. Superb performance by the Korean singer Young Woo Kim in the role of Cavaradossi.

Lack luster, small-scale production of Tosca, significantly below the level in repertory in other opera houses around the world. The acting is good, the staging is rather gimmicky but the principal problem is that two-thirds of the orchestra is beneath the stage, which mutes the acoustics. That is fine for a musical where amplification is in the mix, but for an opera (where nothing is mic'd) it makes the orchestra seems very quiet, which doesn't suit a surging melodrama like Tosca. Please, please take out the first couple of rows of seats, bring the orchestra forward, and let the sound fill the house.
