TOSCA (RBO) 2026/27

Description

Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi have dedicated each other and their lives to art. But when Cavaradossi helps a fugitive prisoner, the lovers make an enemy of police chief Baron Scarpia. Completely at the mercy of Scarpia's obsessive desires, Tosca must agree to a terrible bargain: to sleep with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Will they find a way out in their desperate situation? Oliver Mears' acclaimed production returns, bringing Puccini's opera thriller to modern-day Rome, a city scarred by war. Daniel Oren conducts Aleksandra Kurzak, who again takes on the title role and shines in interplay with Saimir Pirgu as Cavaradossi and Christopher Maltman as Baron Scarpia.
