The Eternal City’s famous drama of the passionate operatic diva, her heroic artist lover and their sadistic nemesis during a few tempestuous hours in June of the turbulent year 1800.

From its authenticity of location and historical circumstance springs forth one of the most emotionally stirring dramatic works - the perfect first experience for the operatic neophyte and one which the connoisseur returns to forever.

Tosca is irresistible because of Puccini’s compositional precision and sublime melodies, amplifying with rare fluency his insightful explorations of a heroine’s psyche, her freedom-fighting lover’s genuine affection, the consummation of a villain’s treachery, the simultaneous extremes of the sacred and profane.
