Set in Rome during the political turmoil of the 19th century, the story of Tosca is a tale of passion, betrayal and, above all, love. It's love that turns Tosca, a diva of great beauty and talent, into a cold-blooded assassin. When her lover, the renowned painter Mario Cavaradossi, is taken prisoner for harboring an escaped rebel, Tosca makes a deal with Scarpia, chief of the secret police, that has tragic consequences. Puccini's music soars to match the drama and emotion of this opera, considered one of the composer's masterpieces.
