Tosca Tickets

Tosca is an opera, a tragedy of love and political topics. It was based on the Italian libretto of Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica which was also based on “La Tosca” by Victorien Sardou. It took many years to create the complete opera because of problems with the composers. Still, when the opera premiered in Rome’s Teatro Costanzi in January 14, 1900, it became a hit to audiences. This has become one of the world’s most-performed and most popular operas.

The tragedy is actually about Floria Tosca, a singer who is the lover of the painter Mario Cavaradossi. The latter was in the church, painting, and unwittingly used Marchesa Attavanti as his model for his Magdalen portrait. Marchesa’s brother, Cesare Angelotti, is a political offender who escaped from jail; he is also Cavaradossi’s long-time friend.

Cavaradossi helps his friend escape. Meanwhile, Tosca goes to the church and heard her lover talking to somebody. She becomes jealous especially when she saw the portrait which looks like someone she already knows. Angelotti’s escape was discovered and a search was started. Meanwhile, Baron Scarpia, the chief of police wants Tosca for his own and creates a plan to execute her lover for helping in the escape of Angelotti. Tosca murders Scarpia and goes to Cavaradossi but the latter was executed. The murder was discovered but before Tosca could be caught, she jumped to her death from the ramparts of the castle.
