Tosca is an opera in three acts, composed by Giacomo Puccini with an Italian script by Luigi Ilica and Giuseppe Giacosa. 2 It had its successful premiere on 14 January 1900 at the Costanzi Theatre in Rome. The text of this work is based on Victorien Sardou’s drastic play La Tosca, performed in Paris in 1887, in which the great actress Sarah Bernhardt performed there.

Tosca is considered one of the most representative operas of the Italian real repertoire, due to its dramatic intensity and the inclusion of some of the most beautiful arias in the repertoire. The plot combines love, intrigue, violence, passion and death. It belongs to Puccini’s most famous opera trio, along with Madame Butterfly and La Bohème.

Musically, the work follows a style previously developed by Puccini: a continuity of musical discourse, interrupted only by one or two arias. The most striking scene is Te Deum at the end of the first act and the arias Vissi d’arte (Tosca) and E lucevan le stelle (Mario). The second act is dramatic, with an intensity unmatched by any of Puccini’s other works.

The action took place in Rome on June 14, 1800, when Napoleon defeated the Austrians led by General Michael von Melas at the Battle of Marengo. Now the opera Tosca will be performed in the magnificent Arena di Verona so book your tickets to experience the Tosca Opera at the Arena di Verona in a night that you will never forget.
