The
celebrated singer who lives a life of singing and love kills herself
because of love.
The New National Theatre Tokyo (NNTT)
provides opera classes every year to enable high school students to
appreciate the wonderful features of opera. In 2003, NNTT will perform Tosca,
one of the most important works of Giacomo Puccini, for the class.
With its setting laid in a real
place in Rome, Tosca focuses on the tragic love between the celebrated
singer Tosca and the young artist Cavaradossi and portrays the hero and
heroine at the mercy of their fate with impressive famous melodies.
NNTT will present this operatic
masterpiece, earnestly wishing that this will be appreciated especially by
students who will see an opera for the first time. NNTT hopes that the high
school students will take this opportunity to experience opera.
