Official Event Listing

Opera in three acts (1900)

New production! The splendour of Rome. The devastation of war.

Puccini’s operatic thriller returns in an unmissable, gripping new production by Oliver Mears, the first to be conducted by Music Director of The Royal Opera Jakub Hrůša in his new role.

Floria Tosca (star soprano Anna Netrebko) and Mario Cavaradossi (rising tenor Freddie De Tommaso) live for each other and for their art. But when Cavaradossi helps an escaped prisoner, the lovers make a deadly enemy in the form of Baron Scarpia (bass-baritone Gerald Finley), Chief of Police. At the mercy of Scarpia’s twisted desires, Tosca is forced to make a horrific bargain: sleeping with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Can she find a way out?
