Tosca

With this fatal cocktail of love, passion and jealousy, a tragic outcome is inevitable. Puccini’s musical drama was an instant hit, not only because of its blood-curdling story in true thriller style. To this day, his lyrical music has also ensured that Tosca remains one of the most popular and exciting operas in the world.

This semi-scenic staging by Frans Willem de Haas – who was director Robert Carsen’s right hand for many years – emphasises the interaction between the protagonists, and pays close attention to the score and musical performance. The highly sought-after Maurizio Barbacini directs a group of elite soloists who are highly experienced at playing the Italian repertoire. For fans of passionate Italian musical drama.
