 Enjoy
the real charm of opera through one of the greatest operatic masterpieces as NNTT's
new season opens.
Tosca is the most dramatic of all the operas by Giacomo Puccini. A string of moving arias represent, with a sorrowful yet beautiful touch, the feelings of the hero and heroine who are distressed by their merciless fates. Particularly, "Vissi d'arte" ("Love and music"), sung by the female lead Tosca, and "E lucevan le stelle" ("The stars were shining"), the farewell song by Cavaradossi, are well known as songs that no one can listen to with a dry eye.
Synopsis
Rome, June 1800. The painter Cavaradossi is arrested on the charge of sheltering Angelotti, who has escaped from jail, and undergoes cruel torture on the orders of Scarpia, chief of police. Cavaradossi stubbornly refuses to confess and is sentenced to death, but Scarpia, who makes advances to Tosca, Cavaradossi's love, proposes that if she accepts his demands, he will save her lover's life. Pretending to have accepted Scarpia's demands, Tosca obtains a permit for Cavaradossi to leave the country and then stabs Scarpia to death. Meanwhile, Cavaradossi is told that a mock execution would be conducted and so stands calmly in front of a firing squad. Tosca sees him fall down in a convincing manner as previously planned and after confirming that everyone has left the execution ground, she goes near him. She is shocked, however, to find that he is dead. Driven to the corner with pursuers close at hand, Tosca throws
herself from the parapet of the castle.
