Tosca

A famous singer lives only for art and love. But when she finds herself caught in a web of politics, corruption, lies and lust, she is forced to make a terrible choice.

Teatro Real

Sala Principal

That in this verista melodrama of political rivalries, crossed passions and bloody denouement the words 'honor' or 'revenge' are never pronounced gives an idea of ​​Puccini's intentions to transcend and renew the framework of both Italian melodrama and verismo. Proof of this is the almost cinematographic rhythm of the dramatic action, the profusion in the use of the leitmotif, or a massive orchestration that reaches its peak in scenes such as the "Te Deum" or the interrogation. Faced with the repressive machinery directed with an iron hand by the sinister Scarpia, the lovers Tosca and Cavaradossi will only be able to raise their voices to express their discouragement and defeat, thus portraying themselves as victims and full-fledged inhabitants of a century that will helplessly attend. to the birth of the modern totalitarian state, mass destruction and genocide. Premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome in 1900, Tosca remains to this day one of the most popular and incombustible operas, a mouthful suitable for all palates that takes to the stage of the Real in a stage version by Paco Azorín premiered at the Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona, ​​a fresh and direct reading located on a revolving stage and enhanced with projections.
