Tosca: Opera in concert

A tale of art, politics, and dangerous romance set in early 19th-century Rome, Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca has left audiences swooning since its premiere 125 years ago.

At the centre of the opera is Floria Tosca—the prima donna of Rome, who risks her own life to save her rebellious lover Mario Cavaradossi from persecution by the corrupt chief of police, Baron Scarpia. Will she pledge her love to Scarpia to save Cavaradossi from the firing squad, or will she do whatever it takes to save both of their lives?
