Tosca Tickets
Overview
Kristine Opolais, Angela Gheorghiu, Vittorio Grigòlo, Bryn Terfel and Marco Vratogna star in Jonathan Kent's production of Puccini's Tosca which returns to the Royal Opera House for another season. The gripping thriller portrays an intense conflict of love, lust, vengeance and violence whose central characters make up a complex and ill-fated triangle: the naïve idealism of the libertarian painter Cavaradossi, the state-sanctioned sadism of Rome's tyrannical Chief of Police Baron Scarpia and, caught between them, Floria Tosca, the beautiful singer whose ability to inspire passion is her fatal undoing.
Set against the backdrop of Rome in June 1800 at the time of Napoleon’s invasion of Italy, the beautifully created designs evoke the political world of control and suspicion - the pageantry of church ritual, the darkness of a brooding study and a hidden torture chamber and the false optimism of the light of a Roman dawn.
Puccini's dark and haunting score constantly winds up the tension under the acclaimed conducting of Alexander Joel.
This production is sung in Italian with English surtitles.
