A famous singer lives only for art and love. But when she finds herself caught in a web of politics, corruption, lies and lust, she is forced to make a terrible choice.
Following the 1900 premiere in Rome, Tosca quickly established itself a staple of the operatic repertoire. From the moment the curtain raises, Puccini engages the audience with five distinctive opening chords associated with evil of Scarpia, the infamous chief of police whose desire to possess the diva knows no limits. These chords also herald a composer able to use harmonic devices to thrilling effect. He manages to characterise musically all the essential elements of the drama leaving room for sumptuous lyric writing for his soloists. Teatro Regio di Parma have gathered an impressive line up for their new production including conductor Daniel Oren and director Joseph Franconi Lee with sololists Anastasia Bartoli as Floria Tosca and, fresh from recent success at the Metropolitan Opera, Brian Jagde as Mario Cavaradossi.
