Why Watch Tosca
Why Watch Tosca
Set in East Germany in 1989, in the shadow of the Berlin Wall. Meet Tosca, the fiery opera singer, whose lover, Mario Cavaradossi, is under fire for helping a fugitive escape. He is captured and tortured by one of the most malevolent villains in Opera -- the Chief of Police, Scarpia. What follows is a tale of love, lust, intrigue, and murder. Watch the story unfold in the dying days of communism, as the government turns to terrifying levels of surveillance in a desperate bid to retain power.
Full of passion and political intrigue, Puccini’s Tosca is one of the most beloved operas of all time. Jonathan Kent’s intense production and the historically charged designs of Paul Brown come together to play out the face off between love and evil. Sinéad Campbell-Wallace and Adam Smith lead the cast, including Noel Bouley, Msimelelo Mbali, Lucia Lucas, John Findon, and Ossian Huskinson.
