88 - Tosca

Tosca is a gripping opera that is packed with chaos and danger from its opening bars. With this melodrama, written in 1900 in a provocative, bold and cinematic style, Puccini didn't just herald the 20th century – he took it by storm. Under Barrie Kosky’s direction, the darker sides of the opera come to the fore. Chief conductor Lorenzo Viotti, delivers a musically ‘sugar-free’ Tosca and shakes off traditional interpretations of the score, approaching it with a fresh perspective.
