 Full
of Appealing Elements of Opera With Many Moving Arias, Gorgeous Stage Setting
Tosca, the most dramatic of Puccini's operas, features a succession
of touching arias and portrays the hero and heroine pathetically yet beautifully
as they are subjected to harsh destiny.
The celebrated singer Tosca's aria "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore"
and Cavaradossi's song of farewell "E lucevan le stelle" never
fail to move the listeners even if listened to hundreds of times.
Furthermore, the magnificent and beautiful stage setting is an attraction
in itself.
An upgraded version of this dazzling opera, which adorned the opening of
the 2000/2001 season of the New National Theatre, Tokyo, will be presented
again.
Synopsis
The setting is Rome in June 1800. Wishing to save her lover, Cavaradossi
- arrested on a charge of giving refuge to a fugitive Angelotti, Tosca gives
herself in to the cruel police chief Scarpia. But finally she succeeds to
stabs him to death and obtains a departure-permit pass. Then a sham execution
is carried out... |
