Based on French playwright Victorien Sardou’s popular play La Tosca (1887), the opera is about political intrigue and romance in the days of the Napoleonic wars. Sung in Italian with projected English translations. Tosca, opera in three acts by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini (Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa) that premiered at the Costanzi Theatre in Rome on January 14, 1900. Directed by Alan Hicks and conducted by Valerio Galli. Scarpia, the chief of police, wants only two things: to recapture the escaped prisoner Angelotti and to seduce Tosca, an opera singer of incredible voice and beauty. Argentinian tenor Marcelo Puente makes his San Diego Opera debut as Cavaradossi. Tosca is Giacomo Puccini’s gripping drama filled with torture, treachery, lust, execution, and suicide. Tosca welcomes the return of soprano Michelle Bradley in the title role, and Greer Grimsley in his signature role of Scarpia. Soaring and sensuous, filled with such beautiful arias as Tosca’s “Vissi d’arte”, Cavaradossi’s “Recondita armonia” and the powerful choral piece “Te Deum”, Tosca has some of opera’s most beloved music, and one of opera’s most gripping plots.
But Tosca has a plan of her own, all of which unfolds with tragic consequences from which no one can escape. After arresting Cavaradossi for harboring Angelotti, Scarpia plays with Tosca’s emotions, promising to free Cavaradossi if Tosca will succumb to Scarpia’s desires. Tosca is in love with Cavaradossi, an artist and sympathizer of Angelotti. Tosca is Giacomo Puccini’s gripping drama filled with torture, treachery, lust, execution, and suicide.
