SUMMARY:TOSCA
DESCRIPTION:Opera in three acts on a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa\, after the drama La Tosca by Victorien Sardou \n\nRecommended age limit: 10+ \nAfter seeing Victorien Sardou’s drama La Tosca\, Puccini immediately asked the famous editor Giulio Ricordi to negotiate with the French writer the copyright\, offered in exchange for Italian composer Alberto Franchetti. A year later\, in 1894\, the libretto of Franchetti’s future opera was ready to be presented to Sardou. However\, a few months later\, Franchetti gives up writing music for Tosca\, a fact which determines Ricordi to offer the libretto to Puccini. Verdi’s power of persuasion was decisive in the composer’s decision to finally accept the project\, even though he was offended because he was not the first to be offered… \nThe close revision of the libretto\, made by Illica together with Giacosa\, provided Puccini the basis for the most representative opera of his maturity style. Tosca highlights the composer’s ability to shape through musical language complex heroes\, strong characters carried within a dramatic development with tragic ends for every one of them. Neither singer Floria Tosca\, fully committed to her feelings for painter Mario Cavaradossi\, but extremely jealous\, nor her lover – led by revolutionary feelings\, capable of making the supreme sacrifice to protect his fellow Angelotti\, nor the vile Baron Scarpia – the chief of the pontifical police\, strongly attracted to Tosca\, whose favors he tries to obtain at all costs\, can survive the turmoil of the political and romantic events which occur during the three acts\, in locations that are specific to 1800’s Rome. \nThe world premiere of Teatro Costanzi\, on 14 January 1900\, brought the public a work whose popularity would maintain throughout time. According to information from the program Operabase\, during 2007-2012 Tosca placed fifth at the top of played opera performances. \nWe are looking forward to seeing you discover it! \nThe performance has two breaks and ends around 9:30 p.m. \nThe performance is interpreted in Italian with Romanian supertitles.
