Tosca
This supremely melodic masterpiece is a tautly suspenseful thriller set in Rome during the Napoleonic wars. Floria Tosca, a headstrong and celebrated operatic soprano, loves the handsome painter Mario Cavaradossi, whose political activism places him in the crosshairs of the evil Baron Scarpia. As the Chief of Police, Scarpia uses his power to set in motion a plan that will force Tosca to satisfy his carnal desires, and rid him of Cavaradossi once and for all. A story of betrayal, vengeance, seduction and murder, illuminated and enhanced by Puccini’s lyrical and compelling score. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
