Opera in three acts (1900) 

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of Puccini's most Roman masterpiece, Opera di Roma presents a special performance of Alessandro Talevi’s lauded staging. Created in collaboration with the Archivio Storico Ricordi, it is a remarkable revival of the opera's original 1900 production, featuring gorgeous sets and costumes (by Carlo Savi and Anna Biagiotti respectively) that painstakingly reconstruct Adolf Hohenstein's original designs, crafted by hand using traditional techniques.

On the podium is Daniel Oren, while the exceptional leading voices on stage include Eleonora Buratto (Tosca), Jonathan Tetelman (Cavaradossi), and Luca Salsi (Scarpia). 

Faithful to the libretto and original direction, this performance offers a rare occasion to see Tosca as Puccini’s first audiences did!

Patrons please note: Online sales for this production are not presently available for sessions at Palace Cinemas (VIC, NSW, ACT, QLD, WA), however, advance tickets for these venues can now be purchased in person at the box office.

Opera di Roma

Taking its current name at the advent of the republic, Rome’s beautiful opera house, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma was first inaugurated in 1880, as Teatro Costanzi. The company hosted the world premiere of Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Puccini’s Tosca among others.
