Details
Opera staged in two acts.
Tosca shows us the best characteristics of Puccini's composition and his ability to know how to provide what is necessary at each moment. In fact, we can consider it a unique reference in the vocal and scenic brilliance of the singers, as well as one of the most representative operas of the Italian verista repertoire (realistic-naturalistic style) of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, for its dramatic intensity, with brilliantly striking scenes such as the “Te Deum” of the Mixed Choir, and for hosting some of the most beautiful and moving arias of the repertoire, such as “Vissi d’arte” by the female protagonist Floria Tosca, in the second act, or “E lucevan le stelle” by the male protagonist Mario Cavaradossi, in the third and final act of the work. The plot combines love, intrigue, violence, passion and death. Together with Madama Butterfly and La Bohème, it is part of the trio of Puccini's most famous operas.
