Tosca
Giacomo Puccini

In Italian with English Supertitles
First Premiered: Rome, Teatro Costanzi, January 14, 1900
Cherished not only for its heart-wrenching melodies, but regarded as an unforgettable dramatic masterpiece, Tosca is full of passion and intrigue as the billowing tension between love and betrayal ultimately clash in Puccini’s heart-pounding thriller. Hailed as his greatest creative accomplishment, Tosca tells of the beautiful opera singer, Floria Tosca, who finds herself torn between the painter she loves and the loathsome chief of police who holds her lover’s fate in his hands. Filled with appalling treachery, murder and unbreakable love, the opera captures the events of a mere 17 hours amid the political turmoil of 19th-century Rome. We are especially excited for you to experience this magnificent drama once again at Opera Pacific as it never fails to captivate audiences.

Libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa
Conducted by Christian Badea
Directed by Garnett Bruce
