The Royal Opera | Tosca

Oliver Mears
Wed 1 Oct and Sun 26 Oct

In a war-torn Rome, Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi live for each other and for their art. But when Cavaradossi helps an escaped prisoner, the lovers gain a deadly enemy in the form of Baron Scarpia, the chief of police. Tosca is at the mercy of Scarpia’s sick desires and is forced into a deal: she must sleep with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Will she find a way out?

The cast features major stars, including soprano Anna Netrebko as Tosca, tenor Freddie De Tommaso as Cavaradossi, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley as Scarpia. For Jakub Hrůša, this marks his first production as the new music director of The Royal Opera. A contemporary, alternative Rome serves as the backdrop for Oliver Mears' captivating new production of Puccini's thriller, an experience you won’t want to miss.
