Tosca

ABOUT PERFORMANCE

After an impressive success of the opera La Bohème, the author Giacomo Puccini searches for the dramatic play whose main character was tailor-made for a theatre star of that time Sarah Bernhardt. By means of music, the composer starts playing a game full of love, passion and intrigues which is destined to end in disaster from the very beginning. Excessively controversial scenes were castigated by opera critics at the end of the 19th century; however, in spite of negative reviews, Tosca has become one of the most frequently performed operas.

Performed in the Italian original with Czech and English subtitles.
