MET Opera Summer 2016: Tosca

Puccini’s melodramatic masterpiece TOSCA is based on a tragic story of human passions, by which the composer intended to offer the audience titillation and dramatic theatre. Puccini also wrote a brilliant musical role for his main character, which has been performed by many famous sopranos throughout the years. The central storyline of the opera tells a story of three people – a famous opera singer, a freethinking artist and a sadist police chief, who are connected by a maze of political games and love.
