Metropolitan Opera: Tosca at Metropolitan Opera House

Why see Metropolitan Opera: Tosca?

Napoleon Approaches

Undoubtedly the most highly regarded and beloved works in the canon, Puccini's tragic tale of revenge and murder returns to the Met in Sir David McVicar's stunning production, with the sizzling trio Sondra Radvanosky, Lise Davidsen, and Aleksandra Kursak sharing the title role. Sit back and be transported to Rome on the edge of invasion in this marvelous melodrama. As perfect for first-timers as it is for seasoned audiences.

What Is The Story Of Tosca?

Under the cloud of rebellion on all sides, Rome is in the middle of a tumultuous change as the Royalist regime is winning over the Republic. Whilst the merciless Baron Scarpia is rounding up rebels and jailing them, Tosca rehearses in a church before meeting her fugitive lover Cavaradossi. When the embittered Baron catches up with him he falls for Tosca, much to her anger, and tortures her lover in front of him. If she yields to him, she is promised his life under the guise of a false execution. But Scarpia's meanness knows no bounds and before the day is out, all life will be extinguished.

Spellbinding

For me everything worked as one whole piece. The set, the costumes, the singers, the story. The pieces just fell together and especially in the last two acts I was sitting on the edge of my seat my eyes drawn to every detail. But I would say when it got soft and quiet for few moments on those acts those were most moving for me. ... Read more
