Puccini’s Tosca, based on Sardou’s 1887 play La Tosca, is set in Rome in June 1800. A romantic and dramatic score, it tells a tale of love, jealousy, and betrayal as Floria Tosca struggles to save her lover from the ruthless police chief Scarpia. The work contains some of the most iconic and recognisable pieces in opera, and is full of musical motifs, representing different characters and ideas throughout the story. 📹 “Vissi d’arte” - Angela Gheorghiu, Royal Ballet and Opera | Decca Classics

A short synopsis of the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. It's based on Victorien Sardou's 1887 French-language dramatic play, "La Tosca" and was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. I left some things out of this short version of the story so you can go see Tosca the next chance you get. Music by Steve Wallace | Babatunde Hip Hopera
